KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 12 (KCNA) --Great efforts have been made in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to facelift the capital, provinces, cities and counties as required by the era of Songun politics. Leader Kim Jong Il, giving on-the-spot guidance to army units and different sectors this year, indicated ways of facelifting all the units and sectors to suit the era of Songun politics.
    Many units to which Kim Jong Il gave on-site guidance have become models in the production and living environment. Typical of them are the co-op farms of Poman-ri, Sohung County, North Hwanghae Province and Ryongjon-ri, Pukchong County, South Hamgyong Province and Ryongjon-ri.
    Some 1,700 houses, or 85 percent of all the dwelling houses, and service facilities in Yonggwang Street in Pyongyang have undergone facelifting, renewing the appearance of the capital.
    The projects of paving roads in the seats of Paechon and Kangryong counties, South Hwanghae Province are now under way in the wake of the pavement of roads in Ryongyon and Anak counties.
    In Rangrim County, Jagang Province, 1,200-odd dwelling houses have been built in the county seat and other places after removing hundreds of old houses.
    In a matter of one year, over 1,000 dwelling houses, service and cultural facilities have made their appearance, 1,500 houses, public buildings and cultural and welfare facilities rebuilt and repaired and roads paved in the seat of Phyonggang County and Pokgye area, Kangwon Province.
    Similar projects have been carried on throughout the country.
