“[Workers at] Gomdok Mine have gone from battle to battle each year without rest to [meet their production goals], but now they have to [make up for] the damage done [to the facility] by the typhoons,” the source said. “Even the mine’s managers are tense because [the mine] has no choice but to make every effort to meet the production goals.”<\/p>\n
The source added that because of the mine’s importance for the economy, its management is submitting production-related reports everyday and receiving directives from the government. “The management is suffering from stress as a result,” he added.<\/p>\n
Officials from the Central Committee and others from South Hamgyong Province’s party committee are helping to manage the 90-day battle at the mine. According to the source, these officials are actively meeting and discussing ways to fix even small issues as they come up.<\/p>\n
The mine’s workers, meanwhile, have not been able to return home since the start of the 90-day battle, and are living inside the mine shafts. The workers’ families are bringing clothes, snacks and food to the workers, the source said.<\/p>\n
