[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Upon receiving a citizen report on concerns about the collapse of an outer wall between an apartment and a road in Gwonseon-gu on the 19th, Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun immediately visited the site for inspection and ordered swift measures.

On that day, the mayor moved to the scene as soon as he received a report from the city's Disaster and Safety Situation Room, confirmed the structural safety status, and took follow-up measures.

Following the mayor's arrival at the scene, approximately 20 personnel including police, relevant department officials, and safety management personnel were deployed to inspect the outer wall.

Nearby parked vehicles were promptly relocated, and vehicle control around the outer wall was implemented. An emergency disaster safety text message regarding the vehicle control was also sent to residents in the nearby area.
