Jo Jin Hyon, deputy head of a workshop of the Hungnam Fertilizer Complex, told KCNA:

"The news has greatly encouraged us in the drive for increased production.

Today my workshop raised the production results two times higher than usual. The case will be the same with other workshops."

Pyon Song Chol, a dispatcher at the Kaechon Railway Bureau, said:

"Joyful over the news, our railway workers are working overtime irrespective of shifts. The news has also excited the railway travelers.

The transport workers' zeal for increased carriage is running higher. It is likely that the current month's quota of the bureau would be hit earlier than scheduled."
