Pyongyang, August 2 (KCNA) -- High temperature and serious draught are observed in the DPRK nowadays, which damage the crops like rice and maize on farms of different parts of the country, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in an editorial.

The present situation calls on all to turn out as one in the campaign for preventing damage by high temperature and draught, the editorial notes, and goes on:

It is a very important and urgent task for the agricultural sector in its work for attaining this year's goal of agricultural production and tackling food problem of the people to strictly prevent damage by high temperature and draught.

Officials and working people in all fields and units, with awareness that they are responsible for the major thrust of the drive for defending socialism together with the agricultural workers, should turn out as one and devotedly work out of patriotism in the on-going campaign for preventing damage by high temperature and draught.

All the people should fully display their patriotic zeal in the on-going campaign for preventing damage by high temperature and draught.
