Ganghwa County Launches Crackdown on Illegal Activities in Coastal Road Green Spaces

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County announced on the 19th that it will conduct an intensive crackdown on illegal activities such as unauthorized camping and cooking, and illegal waste dumping in green spaces along coastal roads in the county.

The county initially encouraged voluntary cleanup by users by posting banners to eliminate illegal activities in the green spaces along coastal roads. However, illegal activities such as camping have not decreased, prompting the county to launch enforcement operations to establish public order in the green spaces.

The campaign will run through the end of July. Target violations include camping, cooking, illegal waste dumping, and illegal parking in green spaces along coastal roads.

A county official stated, "Violators will be subject to fines up to 100,000 won in accordance with related laws," and added, "We hope citizens will participate in creating a clean green environment that everyone can enjoy together with mature civic awareness."
