Jinhae District Holds Emergency Issue Inspection Meeting with District Heads.

The meeting was attended by the heads of all 13 districts and administrative directors. Key agenda items included sharing and intensively reviewing major issues such as the citywide petition campaign for the Dongdaegu-Changwon High-Speed Railway and safety inspections at large-scale autumn event venues with heavy crowds.

The participants shared updates and discussed ways to encourage greater participation in the citywide petition campaign, which calls for the inclusion of the Dongdaegu-Changwon-Gadeokdo New Airport High-Speed Railway in the 5th National Rail Network Construction Plan. They also explored field-based strategies to expand public consensus and engagement.

If this railway network is established, it is expected to strengthen the connection between the southeastern region and the Seoul metropolitan area, thereby enhancing the region’s industrial competitiveness and greatly improving citizens’ mobility. For this reason, Jinhae District is encouraging widespread citizen participation.

In addition, the meeting included a detailed review of safety measures for various autumn events and festivals. To prevent accidents at major venues with large crowds in October and November, the district mayor instructed thorough preparation of facility management and emergency response manuals.

Jinhae District Mayor Jeong Hyunseop emphasized, “The inclusion of the Dongdaegu-Changwon High-Speed Railway is a core task for the sustainable development of Changwon. At the same time, the safety and lives of citizens must be the top priority, and I ask that all administrative efforts be focused on these important matters.”
