[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Jeonnam Yeosu City (Mayor Jeong Gi-myeong) announced that it will conduct a ‘special monitoring activity’ targeting rivers and facilities discharging environmental pollutants within the jurisdiction during the Lunar New Year holiday period.

This policy aims to prevent the discharge of environmental pollutants during the holiday period when management and supervision tend to be lax.

To this end, from the 13th to the 27th, a special monitoring team centered on the Climate Ecology Division and the Industrial Complex Environmental Management Division will be formed to focus on inspecting environmentally vulnerable business sites.

Violating business sites will be subject to administrative measures and prosecution.

Additionally, a mobile situation room will be operated during the holiday, and an emergency contact system will be maintained with related organizations to respond promptly in case of environmental pollution accidents.

Furthermore, before the Lunar New Year holiday, a reporting and consultation window related to environmental pollution will also be operated on the Yeosu City website.

A city official said, “We will do our best to prevent environmental pollution so that visitors and citizens visiting Yeosu during the Lunar New Year holiday can have a safe and pleasant holiday.”

Meanwhile, if you witness any environmental pollution acts, you can also report them through the Environmental Newspaper.
