The two exhausted workers were napping in the woods when a lumber pile toppled over and crushed them,\u201d a source in Yanggang Province told Daily NK on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the source, the Pungseo Logging Company is working loggers around the clock to provide enough lumber to build 10,000 homes in the Hwasong District of Pyongyang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier, the North Korean authorities reportedly instructed forestry management bureaus around the country, including the one in Yanggang Province, to provide the lumber needed for the housing project in Hwasong District.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response, the Yanggang Province Bureau of Forestry Management pushed the Pungseo Logging Company \u2014 which it has praised for creating innovations in lumber production while abiding by pandemic regulations \u2014 to increase its output by working both day and night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the Pungseo Logging Company put some of its workers on the night shift to meet the substantial lumber goal set by the authorities, two workers (including one in his 50s surnamed Choe) were taking a short nap at the worksite when they were killed by a collapsing stack of logs, the source explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of having to work all night to satisfy the government\u2019s demand for lumber for building homes in Pyongyang, the source said, these unfortunate men ended up losing their lives on the job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A similar accident occurred at the Gapsan Logging Company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beginning of June, a company worker in his 30s, surnamed Park, was reportedly limbing trees for the housing project in Hwasong District when he was hit by a falling stack of logs. Park died on the spot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said that when the accident occurred, a manager at the scene ordered loggers to stay on the job and keep cutting down trees, which elicited protests from the irate loggers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNowadays, nobody is willing to take responsibility or even move a finger when someone dies. Although the worker killed in this incident had undeniably died on the job, his company wrapped up the incident by sending his family 10kg of corn,\u201d the source said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLocals have been disgusted by government officials and on-site managers\u2019 pathetic obsession with meeting lumber production goals while putting safety measures for workers on the back burner,\u201d the source added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Translated by David Carruth.
