As the construction of frameworks of thousands of dwelling houses is completed one after another, roofing and plastering of their interiors and exteriors are being pushed in the afflicted areas of Kangwon Province.

In Kimhwa County, service personnel finished the construction of frameworks of hundreds of flats in a short span of time and are pressing on with the roofing of them.

Soldier-builders have finished over 60 percent of total plastering in Cholwon County.

In Phangyo County, builders of the North Phyongan provincial and Pyongyang municipal construction brigades finished the construction of frameworks of houses including concrete laying of slabs ahead of others and are making a good job of roofing and plastering.

Those in Kumgang, Hoeyang, Ichon, Changdo and Phyonggang counties are carrying on the work of each building process in a responsible manner as required by construction methods in order to ensure the quality of structures.

On the basis of detailed surveys of the situations of the areas hit by heavy rain and tidal waves, North Hamgyong Province is prioritizing the restoration of roads, railways, bridges and communication.

Manpower, vehicles and heavy machines have all been mobilized in relinking roads at dozens of severed places to open routes in Kilju, Orang and other counties.

The workers of the Chongjin Railway Bureau are waging a campaign for repairing railways and bridges to ensure urgent transport, and forestry and mine prop production stations under the North Hamgyong Provincial Forestry Management Bureau have turned out lots of timbers for reconstruction.

Kim Chaek City and Myongchon County recovered communication with the province, cities and counties.

Farmers in Hoeryong City and Onsong and Hwadae counties are clearing out ditches and applying liquid nutrients for improving the growth conditions of rice and maize in order to minimize crop damage.

Meanwhile, youth league organizations across the country are rendering sincere assistance to the people in the afflicted areas in North and South Hamgyong provinces and the reconstruction campaign as well.
