Pocheon City (Acting City Mayor Min Cheon-sik) is implementing comprehensive measures across various sectors to ensure that both residents and returning visitors can enjoy a warm and pleasant Lunar New Year, the nation's largest holiday.

Ahead of the Lunar New Year, Pocheon City is taking action to control rising grocery prices. By operating a price stabilization task force, the city will intensively manage 32 items of Lunar New Year-related products and monitor price trends and supply conditions in cooperation with the housewives' price monitoring unit.

Based on this, the city plans to disclose price information on the Pocheon City website to encourage prudent consumer spending. Joint guidance and inspections will be conducted at traditional markets and large discount stores, and enforcement actions will be taken against excessive packaging and to verify country-of-origin labeling for agricultural and livestock products.

From January 24 to 26, the 'Pocheon Agricultural and Livestock Products Direct Trading Market for Lunar New Year' will operate in front of the City Volunteer Center.

Additionally, the city will secure a continuous operation system by preparing 23 reserve buses for public transportation as part of special transportation measures.
