Park Doohyung, Yeoju City Council Chair, Vows to Abolish Unreasonable Hangang Act and Lead Yeoju to a New Leap Forward

Yeoju Citizens Successfully Hold Large-Scale Rally
Urging Abolition of the Hangang Act

The "Yeoju Citizens' Rally to Urge the Abolition of the Hangang Act," organized by the Yeoju Citywide Countermeasure Committee (Chief Representative Park Doohyung, Chairperson of Yeoju City Council), concluded successfully on the 29th under Yeoju Bridge, with the participation of over 500 citizens.

This rally was held to demand the removal of various intensified regulations in the upper region of Paldang Lake and to strongly call for the abolition of the Hangang Act as a fundamental solution to the unreasonable overlapping regulations that have persisted for over 50 years.

Despite residents in the upper Paldang Lake area having achieved the target water quality of Grade 1 through years of sacrifice, the government has neglected its initial promises to improve regulations and provide financial support. Furthermore, criticism has arisen as the government recently announced a plan to fully open three weirs on the Namhan River, pushing forward a pre-modern policy that ignores the sacrifices of Yeoju citizens and once again injects a massive budget.

At the site, a "mud water spraying performance" symbolizing the removal of regulations was held, and citizens demonstrated their united determination by holding yellow placards and chanting "Abolish the Hangang Act."

The collective will of the citizens, as confirmed through this rally, clearly showed that abolishing the unreasonable Hangang Act is an urgent task that can no longer be delayed.

Starting with this rally, the Yeoju Citywide Countermeasure Committee plans to further strengthen its solidarity with the Gyeonggi Alliance and continue with practical actions. The Yeoju City Council also pledged to work together with the committee until the end to restore citizens' rights and open a new future for Yeoju.

Chief Representative Park Doohyung stated, "Due to overlapping regulations that have continued for over 50 years, citizens' property rights and the pursuit of happiness have been severely infringed. Based on the passionate desire shown by citizens at this rally, we will ensure the abolition of the unreasonable Hangang Act and lead Yeoju toward a new leap forward."
