[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 9th, Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced that it has secured 1.05 billion KRW in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for two disaster safety policy projects.

The special grants include 1 billion KRW for establishing a flood risk underground passage blocking system and 50 million KRW for a project to improve areas with frequent traffic accidents involving elderly pedestrians. This is the first time the city has secured special grants for two fields.

With the secured project funds, the city plans to install blocking systems in the Songji underground passage in Songji-ri, Samrangjin-eup, the Gugok underground passage in Anin-ri, Sangdong-myeon, and the Maeil underground passage to ensure safe passage for citizens.

Additionally, to prevent frequent traffic accidents involving elderly pedestrians due to aging and an increasing elderly population, road traffic safety facilities will be installed around the Nae-i-dong terminal.

Mayor Park Il-ho said, “We will do our best to create a safe passage and walking environment for our citizens.”
