The coal industry sector is taking practical measures to strengthen the material and technical foundations of coal mines and achieve production growth.

Officials of the Ministry of Coal Industry and units concerned intensify the study and discussion on the problems arising in strengthening production foundations of the coal mines and increasing the production.

Steps are taken to give precedence to the supply of materials needed for the construction of new coal mines and pits and promote the work for providing the colliers with improved living conditions.

The Ryongdae Youth Coal Mine and the Wolbong Coal Mine are drawing up practical plans to increase the coal conveying capacity by installing new thousands of metre-long belt conveyor.

The Namdok and Inpho youth coal mines under the Pukchang Area Youth Coal-Mining Complex produced hundreds of tons of coal more in the first week of the new year.

The February 8 Jiktong, Ryongdae and Chonsong youth coal mines under the Sunchon Area Youth Coal-Mining Complex are bringing about good results in production by introducing efficient blasting methods and operating the equipment at full capacity.

The Tukjang Area Coal-Mining Complex and the Kaechon Area Coal-Mining Complex are increasing the production every day.
