[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gangneung City plans to complete the restoration of damage caused by last year's heavy rain and typhoons, as well as the slope protection projects, before this year's rainy season.

According to the city on the 14th, a total of 3.58 billion KRW will be spent on restoration work in 68 damaged locations, with plans to complete the repairs within the first half of the year.

Additionally, 1.25 billion KRW will be invested to install slope protection dams in five locations, including Jusuri in Okgyemyeon. Slope protection dams are structures designed to prevent disasters caused by driftwood and soil runoff during heavy rains in forest areas.

The city stated, "Most of the slope protection projects will be completed before the rainy season, and with the completion of the dredging work for the slope protection dams, we will do our best to prevent forest disasters caused by heavy rainfall."
