Pyongyang, July 9 (KCNA) -- Four pilot sectors of the national economy keep vigorously advancing in the van of the 150-day campaign in the DPRK.

The Posan Iron Works of the Chollima Steel Complex overfulfilled the every monthly production quota of Juche iron and turned out the Juche iron nearly three times in June in comparison with the corresponding period of the year before.

The Chongjin Steel Works completed the construction of a new shaft furnace which is of great significance in the production of the Juche iron.

The Hwanghae Iron and Steel Complex restructured the production processes to increase the steel output by 50 percent.

Thermal power plants in different parts of the country increased the electricity production in the first half of the year by hundreds of millions of kilowatts as against the same period of the previous year.

After the construction of the Nyongwon Power Station, many achievements have been made in the dam, aqueduct tunnel, waterway, and other projects at the construction sites of the hydro-power stations in various parts of the country including the Huichon, Kumyagang and Paektusan Songun Youth power stations.

Coal production plans for June have been carried out ahead of schedule at coal mines in Tokchon, Sunchon, Anju, Tukjang, Pukchang and Kaechon of South Phyongan Province, Kujang of North Phyongan Province and Kangdong area of Pyongyang.

All other collieries across the country also hit their production targets.
