Land leveling and rezoning completed

Land Leveling and Rezoning in North Phongan Prov. Completed

Pyongyang, May 16 (KCNA) -- The appearance of the land in North Phyongan Province, the northwestern part of the DPRK, has changed beyond recognition.

Not only the cooperative fields on the west coast from the 40 km-long Unjon plain and Pakchon plain to Ryongchon plain but the fields in in-between and mountainous areas from Kwanha plain in Nyongbyon and Handure plain in Thaechon to Hongnam plain in Uiju have turned into a vast expanse of fertile rice fields.

At least 50,000 hectares of rice fields were leveled and rezoned into standardized fields, each with a thousand or hundreds of Phyong (one Phyong is six square feet).

Thousands of hectares of land came under plough after the disappearance of a lot of ridges between paddies and swamps.

This great change in the land in north Phyongan province is a shining fruition of the gigantic and bold operation and plan of the great leader Kim Jong Il.

After finding great possibilities of increasing grain production at present in the land leveling and rezoning project, he wisely led the overall project. He set the target and stages of the project and clearly taught details of the project such as order of work to be done, the area of a field and even the issue of increasing the fertility of the rezoned fields. He saw to it that necessary forces and means for carrying out the project were sent there and it was undertaken as a movement involving the entire party and army and all the people.

As a result, the gigantic nature-transforming project was successfully completed under the difficult conditions where the province was hard pressed for everything.

Farming preparations are now in full swing in these fields.
