Through this meeting, the city reviewed the progress of each department and discussed plans for restoring facilities that have not yet been rectified.

The meeting focused on follow-up measures for facilities that have not been restored and also examined ways to improve administrative procedures for faster processing.

In addition, the city plans to strengthen promotional activities for the maintenance of illegal facilities and to encourage voluntary maintenance in cooperation with merchants' associations, especially in areas with many river users such as Jangheung and Gisan.

Furthermore, to increase citizen participation, the city will provide guidance on how to report illegal activities through the 'Safety Sinmungo' app and actively promote reporting of illegal acts at the same time.
