Pyongyang,
October 14 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea
(WPK), chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (DPRK) and supreme commander of the armed forces of the DPRK,
inspected the rehabilitation site in the Komdok area of South Hamgyong
Province.
Accompanying
the Supreme Leader of the Party, state and armed forces were Pak Jong Chon, Ri
Il Hwan, Kim Yong Su, Jo Yong Won, Hyon Song Wol and Kim Myong Sik.
He,
who arrived there by dangerous gorge railway restored temporarily, was greeted
by excited commanding officers of the Korean People's Army (KPA).
He
convened the 6th Enlarged Meeting of the 7th Central Military Commission of the
WPK just one month ago to issue an order of the Party Central Military
Commission to involve KPA units in the rehabilitation campaign in the Komdok
area which suffered severe damage from typhoon and whose conditions were the
worst. And he ardently called on the service personnel to make devoted efforts
for our great people, for our great Party, and for our great state. In hearty
response to his noble intention the soldier-builders turned out as one in the
restoration campaign.
They
waged a 24-7 campaign in the spirit of carrying out the Party's instructions
unto death and of At a Go to fulfill over 60 percent of the total project of
building more than 2 300 new dwellings in the Komdok area.
He
said he could see the damage done to the area was more severe than he thought.
He
highly appreciated the labor feats of the service personnel who completely
removed the serious aftereffects and are pushing forward with the
reconstruction project.
He
was greatly satisfied with the service personnel's high spirit and the
effective field political work that was conducted across the reconstruction
site.
Looking
round the reconstruction site, he highly praised service personnel for building
dwellings to be of high quality and doing all parts of the construction with
all sincerity.
Saying
that the conscience and unassuming efforts of the service personnel devoted to
the building of the dwelling houses will be appreciated and estimated by the
householders, he stressed the need for the service personnel remaining
boundlessly true to the Party and the people to put sincerity to every
dwelling.
He
also spoke highly of the KPA units and sub-units involved in the recovery
campaign in Komdok area as they are building firm retaining concrete walls by
road stretches and railway sections exposed to potential danger of landslides,
and doing qualitative river improvement so that there would not be damage by
future natural disasters.
He
said that the service personnel were dispatched to the reconstruction sites in
different parts of the country to carry out the holy missions given by the
Party Central Committee and are performing miracles like legendary stories
about heroes, adding that thanks to them the 75th anniversary of the founding
of the glorious WPK could be celebrated successfully and the square of the
celebrations could also be glorified more. And he expressed his thanks to all
the soldier-builders for displaying gallantry in the reconstruction campaign.
He
underlined the need for the whole party and for the whole society to establish
the trait of encouraging the struggle of the service personnel taking the lead
in the restoration campaign, to send letters inspiring them and to render
political and ideological aid to them so as to keep the high spirit.
He
learned about the supply of winter clothes for the service personnel and other
supply service and underscored the need to take good care of them as it is
getting cold, to provide living environments of meeting the anti-epidemic
requirements and to create the conditions for timely curing the cases, if any.
He
said he was so pleased to hear that the calamity-afflicted people could move
into new houses by the end of this month, and stressed the need to take
measures to supply food and daily necessities to those disaster-hit people and
to take good care of them as they are living a hard life in public buildings
and other people's houses.
He
was so unhappy to see the single-storied houses squeezed in a haphazard way at the
foot of a mountain slope on his way to the reconstruction site.
He
said that there are still houses built more than half a century ago and that we
did not know properly the life of the people living in so piteous environments
and dwellings, although we thought of reconstructing houses for the
disaster-stricken people. He continued that he feels not relieved as we can not
build new houses for them this time.
He
said that we have to seriously self-reproach ourselves for making the workers
in Komdok live in such a backward living environment because we failed to pay
due attention to the living of the people there, though we claimed that the
workers of Komdok are like the elder brother of the country and that the Komdok
area is the major artery of the national economy. He continued that if we shun
such living conditions of the people in the local areas, our Party's popular
policies will be just an empty talk and be just like taking credit to oneself,
adding that he would feel remorseful if only thousands of houses that had been
affected by flood are rebuilt.
He
said that now new houses are built only when old ones are brought down by
natural disasters, adding that local construction should not be done this way
and, as he had said shortly ago, that the goal for the local construction
should be set in a planned way and be carried out in a long-term way.
He
unfolded a far-reaching plan and master plan to turn the Komdok area, the
country's leading large-scale mineral production base, into the country's model
mountainous city and a mining city next to Samjiyon City by doing away with the
centuries-old backwardness in Taehung, Komdok and Ryongyang and by building
modern dwelling houses suited to the requirement of the new century.
He
said that the current construction for recovery from damage should be set as
the first-stage project which must be completed during the 80-day campaign with
all-out efforts, stressing his pledge to build 25 000 new dwelling houses in
Komdok Mining Complex, Taehung Youth Hero Mine and Ryongyang Mine during the
five-year plan which will be set forth in the 8th Congress of the Party as the
second-stage project.
He
gave detailed instructions regarding the direction of the construction in the
Komdok area, pledging to take charge of the project himself and build, together
with the People's Army, mine villages in the Komdok area into the world's best
mining city, the world's No 1 mountainous gorge city to be envied by all the
people.
He
said that the People's Army would take full charge of building materials such
as cement, steel and oil and build 5 000 dwelling houses each year from next
year on an yearly basis, not reaching out for help to the national planning
institutions which become very calculating, reel off complaints being caught in
defeatism and make a great fuss when the target worthy of the political
attention of the country is set.
He
advanced the task for the designing field to work out the master plan for the
construction of the Komdok area during the 80-day campaign period. He stressed
the need to conduct field survey before the designing, to set the site properly
so that there would be free from natural disasters and wouldn't be
inconvenience in living, and to design the exterior and interior of the
dwelling houses strictly based on the requirements of the people.
He
suggested making harmonious combination of one-storey houses and
several-storey, multi-storey and high-rise apartment buildings in the Komdok
area, calling for breaking the old style of building clusters of single-storey houses
in local counties and mountainous counties and for face-lifting the area so as
to create another example, a revolution, in the local construction.
He
stressed the need to do the good work of dredging beds of rivers and streams
and embankment and put importance on forest and water conservation so that the
area would not be affected by any floods and typhoons in the future.
He
again made a decision to conduct huge task believing in the People's Army, he
said, adding the grandiose ambition and ideal of our Party will instill fresh
confidence and hope to the people all over the country and become a spark of
the 80-day campaign for opening up the period of new surge and great turn in
our revolution.
He
said that the second hand of the clock of our revolution turns keeping pace
with the footsteps of the People's Army and the speed of the latter is
precisely the speed of the advance of our revolution, calling on the People's
Army to dash forward keeping step with the attack speed of our Party which
doesn't feel content in the work for the people and thus bring earlier the
future of our country with nothing to desire more.
All
the builders were full of strong will to creditably carry out the task for the
construction for the recovery of the Komdok area and turn the area into the
example of mining city which will bring about a great change in the era of the
Workers' Party, and into the place of unprecedented and mythical miracle, in
response to the do-or-die attack spirit of Kim Jong Un working heart and soul for
the miraculous civilization which will soar from manifold disasters, the spirit
which is tantamount to a bold pluck and decision that can be made and put into
practice by our Marshal only.
The
Supreme Leader ardently appealed to the units of the People's Army to make
dedicated efforts for our great people, our great Party and our great state.
