Freight Transportation to Flood-hit Areas Brisk in DPRK

Pyongyang, August 6 (KCNA) -- The field of transport in the DPRK is striving to send freights to flood-hit areas as soon as possible.

Officials of the Pyongyang Railway Bureau are composing and distributing trains in a mobile way and raising the rate of centralized transport on the basis of grasping the actual number of trains that can run to the flood-hit areas, movement of trains, the amount and kinds of freights at stations, transport distance, etc.

The Kaechon Railway Bureau has made detailed arrangements for train service and taken appropriate measures to ensure the full-capacity traffic of railways.

The Ministry of Land and Marine Transport has taken measures to ensure smooth freight transport by grasping the number of cargo ships and establishing transport control system in good order.

Foreseeing the transport by rolling stocks, it also pushes ahead with the work to transport cement, steel and other freights necessary for rehabilitation. -0-
