[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Nosik] Independent three-term successful candidate Shim Min, the mayor of Imsil County, has returned to county administration immediately after the election and is continuing a busy schedule, including being the first to visit drought-affected sites.


Starting with a visit to Sochungsa Shrine on the 2nd, Mayor Shim visited agricultural sites struggling with severe drought, and on the 3rd, he actively engaged in county administration by inspecting Okjeongho Lake.


Visiting the drought site the previous day, Mayor Shim said, "During the election period, I promised to mobilize all resources, including contingency funds, to resolve the drought," adding, "We plan to actively respond to drought relief by investing about 570 million won of contingency funds for well development, riverbed excavation, and fuel tax support for pumps."


The county plans to invest a total of 5 billion won for stable agricultural water supply, including 25 medium-sized wells, 40 small wells, and maintenance of 5 reservoirs. Additionally, it will focus all efforts on securing additional agricultural water through 12 well developments, riverbed excavation using equipment, spring development, and the establishment of simple pumping stations.


On the same day, Mayor Shim carried out a hectic schedule including an on-site inspection of Okjeongho Lake, where the Bung-eo Island suspension bridge is scheduled to open in July, visits to related organizations, and attendance at a street concert at Imsil Market.


Mayor Shim stated, "I will successfully complete the unfinished projects over the past eight years as the head of county administration, including achieving the milestone of 10 million tourists and completing the seamless and uninterrupted Seomjin River Renaissance, which are key campaign pledges," and pledged, "I will repay the will of the citizens who made my three-term election possible with more diligent and dedicated county administration."


He added, "During the last election period, meeting many citizens in the field was a precious time to realize once again what the citizens need and to gather my resolve," and said, "I will do my best to meet the expectations of the citizens who supported and encouraged me."


Furthermore, he emphasized, "I will do my best to ensure a stable supply of agricultural water so that citizens do not face difficulties in farming due to the ongoing drought."
