The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC) visited the construction site of the Gangneung-Jejin railway today (July 8) to listen to the voices of local residents experiencing difficulties due to the project and to seek solutions.

The project is currently underway with a goal of completion in 2029, but complaints from residents regarding business loss compensation, noise, and vibrations have been consistently raised.

The ACRC plans to operate consultation groups on-site covering three areas: compensation, construction, and operational support, and aims to resolve issues that can be settled or mediated immediately as quickly as possible.

Han Sam-seok, Vice Chairperson of the ACRC, who visited the site, stated that he expects this "customized mobile People's Petition Center" will serve as an opportunity to practically resolve long-standing grievances that have remained unaddressed.
