North Korea has mobilized young construction workers to build homes in North Pyongan Province’s flood-affected areas.
Rodong Sinmun, North Korea’s state-run media, reported that the Baekdu Mountain Hero Youth Brigade command group has efficiently organized labor, machinery, and materials to advance construction efforts. The commanders assessed flood-damaged areas, including Hadan-ri in Sinuiju City, Seoho-ri, and Gangun-ri in Uiju County. This evaluation has allowed them to prioritize tasks and deploy resources effectively.
To meet the Party’s deadline for rebuilding homes in the affected areas, each brigade promptly began clearing land for new housing sites, marking blocks, and repairing access roads upon arrival.
The report also highlighted that brigades from South Pyongan Province and South Hwanghae Province, known for their abundant aggregate resources, have accelerated construction efforts. They have achieved this by collectively innovating and producing tens of thousands of blocks in a single day.
North Korea is mobilizing youth to recover in the recently flood-affected northwestern regions. They plan to rebuild numerous homes, claiming they will reconstruct the damaged areas as a model of modernization, promoting this as a benefit of the Party and the Supreme Leader’s grace.
On the same day, the report repeatedly mentioned that 300,000 young people volunteered to assist in the affected areas, urging residents to work hard for their country.
The report emphasized, “There is a life like a gem even if you live for a day, and there is a life like a stone even if you live for a hundred years. Let us live our irreplaceable lives meaningfully for our country.”
The report continued, “Countless people around us put the collective before themselves, prioritize national matters over personal concerns, and generously dedicate their wisdom and passion.” It criticized those who fail to conform as weak, selfish, and unreliable. This criticism seems to reinforce ideological unity among residents, which is crucial during the extensive flood damage.
