The Pyongyang General Electric Cable Factory 326 is boosting the production of various kinds of electric cables from the beginning of the new year.

The factory has scrupulously examined, repaired and operated induction furnaces and rolling mills on a scientific basis while making sure that the looping shop in charge of the first process of production gives priority to the supply of raw and other materials. It is also producing various kinds of parts necessary for the production of electric cables.

Workers of the Sunchon Limestone Mine and the Manpho August 2 Cement Factory successfully conducted their first blasting of 200 000 and 100 000 cubic metres of earth for this year, opening up a prospect for producing and supplying more cement to construction sites.
