Gwangmyeong City Establishes One-Stop Service to Address Citizens' Hardships Amid U.S.-Iran War

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] Gwangmyeong City announced on the 17th that it will launch full operations of the 'Gwangmyeong Livelihood Stability Counseling Call Center' to receive and respond more swiftly to citizens' voices by consolidating related civil petitions amid unstable international circumstances caused by the U.S.-Iran war.

The 'Gwangmyeong Livelihood Stability Counseling Call Center (02-2680-5300)' is an integrated counseling service that consolidates the city's existing 'Livelihood Stability Response Dedicated Counters,' which had been operated separately across six sectors including small business owners, enterprises, startups, consumers, energy, and welfare.

This unification of the counter aims to eliminate the inconvenience citizens faced in having to find the relevant departments or counseling numbers themselves based on their petition content and to enhance accessibility to administrative services. Additionally, it reflects the city's active commitment to livelihood response by receiving and coordinating various civil petitions arising from international situation changes without sectoral distinctions in a single location quickly.

Going forward, citizens can receive dedicated counseling by contacting only the main number (02-2680-5300) and being assigned a dedicated staff member to address various hardships resulting from the war's aftermath, including support for small business owners, corporate difficulties, energy-related civil petitions, and emergency welfare counseling.

Mayor Park Seung-won stated, "In times of crisis, the local government's role of listening first and acting promptly by citizens' side becomes even more important," and added, "We will swiftly reflect the difficulties experienced by citizens and businesses in our city policies to stably protect citizens' daily lives and further strengthen the regional economy."
