The city explained that the Pyeongtaek City Citizen Grievance Committee members who received the commendation on that day were awarded in recognition of their faithful performance in protecting citizens' rights and their dedicated contribution to revitalizing the ombudsman (Citizen Grievance Committee) system.

Meanwhile, the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission holds the National Rights Day ceremony annually to commend institutions and individuals recognized for their contributions in the fields of anti-corruption, civil complaints and ombudsman, rights improvement, and administrative appeals.
