[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gangwon Province, together with 18 cities and counties within the province, will crack down on four safety-vulnerable areas around schools during the start of the school term: traffic safety, harmful environments, food safety, and illegal advertisements.

The province will conduct inspections focusing on children's protection zones around elementary schools, safety rules for school transportation vehicles, and securing passageways at construction sites near schools until the 31st.

In the harmful environment sector, illegal business activities by new and variant establishments operating near schools are the main targets of the crackdown.

In the food sector, hygiene management will be inspected with a focus on preventing food poisoning and the sale of fraudulent or substandard food products.

In the illegal advertisement sector, efforts will be made to strengthen safety management and maintenance of old and substandard signs, with a focus on cracking down on provocative harmful advertisements.
