The torrential rain hit Anju City recently, leaving houses for thousands of families, almost all public buildings and industrial facilities inundated or destroyed and a large area of farmland washed away or buried under silt. This made it hard for a large area of cultivated land to expect any harvest of crops.

The flooding also left water supply and drainage networks and power supply system unworkable.

The premier learned in detail about the flood damage before holding an urgent consultative meeting.

The meeting underscored the importance of restoring the systems for the supply of drinking water and electricity in bringing the living of the people in the afflicted areas to normal and dealt with issues of determining a proper order of priority for recovery operations and focusing efforts on it.

The premier called upon the Cabinet and other relevant units to pay deep attention to recovery operations in the city and fulfill their responsibility and roles.
