Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, January 23 (KCNA) -- Greater efforts are being directed to increasing coal production in the coal-mining industry in the DPRK. Officials of the Ministry of Coal Industry go deep among workers to concentrate efforts on coal production, each taking in charge of big coal mines including the Anju Area Coal Complex.
    In particular they are launching the mass technical innovation drive, intensifying creative cooperation with technicians and colliers.
    The Pukchang, Onsong, Tokchon, Kujang and Chonnae Area Coal Complexes have introduced the advanced methods to coal production, registering big achievements every day.
    They are paying the primary attention to securing favorable cutting faces by giving precedence to tunneling and are taking thoroughgoing measures to supply materials, facilities and accessory parts including props to collieries in time.
    Innovations are being reported from the Ryongdung Coal Mine, February 8 Jikdong Youth Coal Mine and Chonsong Youth Coal Mine and other coal mines.
    The coal mines are widely organizing an inter-pit tunneling emulation and other forms of socialist emulation, thus boosting colliers' enthusiasm for production.
    Thanks to the devotion of the coal producers in a pilot for building an economic power, larger amount of coal is being provided to the thermal power plants.
