Shortly after receiving that<br \/>\norder, the local authorities rounded up all the city residents and oversaw a<br \/>\nmobilization effort to address the flood damages.\u201d &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">An additional source in the same region<br \/>\ncorroborated this story.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">A substantial number of residents<br \/>\nparticipating in the mobilization efforts have been living in houses with<br \/>\ncollapsed walls, he said. North Hamgyong Provincial Party cadres and Rason Municipal Party cadres have stayed overnight at the scene in order to deal with<br \/>\nthe problem.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cIt seems like the direct visit from the<br \/>\nGeneral [Kim Jong Un] put everyone on edge. As a result, cadres have devoted<br \/>\ntheir energies into rejuvenating the damaged area,\u201d he asserted.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">According to the source, ever since Kim<br \/>\nJong Un rose to power, there have been aggressive purges on cadres who were not<br \/>\nable to carry out Kim Jong Un\u2019s orders. Knowing well the high stakes<br \/>\nhighlighted Kim Jong Un\u2019s personal visit to Rason, cadres in North Hamgyong<br \/>\nProvince are focusing all their energies on the relief efforts and organizing<br \/>\nlarge scale mobilizations.

Due<br \/>\nto the effects of this arduous work, many residents\u2019 hands are covered in<br \/>\nblisters. Some residents are using the break times during the mobilizations to<br \/>\ncatch up on much needed sleep,\u201d he said.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cRason residents have been so busy between<br \/>\nwork and mobilizations that they haven\u2019t even had a chance to even think about<br \/>\nattending to their private plots.
