Pyongyang, May 16 (KCNA) -- The number of model worker honor prize winners is increasing in the DPRK.

The model worker honor prize, instituted in 1989, is awarded to the working people who have worked faithfully at their posts for a long time.

This year, too, one hundred and tens of working people won the title of model worker honor prize.

Among them are a worker of the Hungnam Fertilizer Complex who has devoted himself to putting equipment on a normal operation for decades and women workers of the Sinuiju Textile Mill who trained many new-entrants into skilled workers while over-fulfilling their yearly plans every year. -0-
