This special campaign was initiated ahead of the peak summer season to preemptively block illegal business activities and unauthorized facility installations in rivers, valleys, and forests, and to create a safe and pleasant environment for citizens to enjoy.

On this day, aerial photography using drones was carried out in the Sudong Valley area. The city meticulously inspected for illegal activities using high-resolution footage to ensure there were no blind spots. Deputy Mayor Kim Sangsoo was present at the site to check the drone operations and inspection process, and to encourage the staff.

Additionally, on the same day, a meeting was held at the Sudong-myeon Community Center with about 10 members of the merchant association and local residents. During the meeting, the city moved beyond conventional enforcement to listen to the difficulties faced by merchants. The city also encouraged the voluntary participation of merchants and residents to prevent illegal activities and establish order.

Deputy Mayor Kim Sangsoo emphasized, "Rivers, valleys, and forests are precious assets that all citizens should enjoy together," and added, "Alongside strong enforcement, we will foster voluntary cooperation within the local community to create a pleasant Sudong Valley that everyone wants to visit."

Meanwhile, during the special cleanup campaign in March, the city plans to continuously monitor illegal activities in rivers, valleys, and forests using drones, and to strengthen cooperation systems with major valley merchant associations and local residents. Through these efforts, Namyangju City aims to establish a systematic management foundation for all rivers, valleys, and forests in the area.
