Turf Planted and Cultivated as Mass Movement
Pyongyang, October 8 (KCNA) -- A brisk drive is now under way in Pyongyang to turn it into a city clad in thick verdure and adorned with all species of flowers.

The dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un has paid deep attention to the work for face-lifting the land of the country as required by the era of Songun. He gave an instruction on planting turf while providing field guidance to Changjon Street in May and clearly indicated tasks and ways for doing this work well on a number of occasions.

Officials of ministries and national institutions have taken the lead in planting new species of turf seeds to more splendidly spruce up the area around the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun.

The Horticultural Management Bureau of the Pyongyang City People's Committee minutely organized the work for planting and tending on a large scale land-greening plants including turf.

A base capable of producing one hectare of turf appeared at each nursery in districts and counties and waste lands turned into grounds for cultivating turf.

The entire length of Kwangbok Street was carpeted with nice turf.

The Central, Pothong, Sosong and Moranbong Districts of the city are also channeling efforts into planting land-greening plants like turf.

Mansudae, Chollima, Pulgun, Ponghwa, Hasin and Kaesonmun Streets have finished planting turf through a mass movement.
