(Daejeon=Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Jun-ho = The Daejeon Special Judicial Police announced on the 30th that they will conduct a concentrated inspection targeting 150 locations for crimes that infringe on people's lives ahead of the winter season until the end of the year.
This inspection will focus on areas closely related to citizens' lives as winter approaches, including false labeling of the origin of agricultural and marine products, illegal disposal of waste during the winter season, and illegal activities in pharmaceutical sales.
The city had already inspected illegal activities in the food hygiene (restaurants, manufacturing and processing businesses), origin of agricultural and marine products, real estate brokerage, and environmental sectors in September and October, resulting in the detection of a total of 22 cases.
Major violations include unregistered food businesses, failure to display required information and storage of products past their expiration date, illegal real estate brokerage, discharge of waste into public waters, and operation of unauthorized air emission facilities. Currently, prosecution and administrative penalty procedures are underway.
A Daejeon city official said, "Citizens' health and safety are the top values that the city government must protect," and "This planned investigation aims to preemptively block illegal activities that target seasonal vulnerabilities to ensure the safety of people's lives during the winter season."
