On the afternoon of the 22nd, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced that the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen between Kanazawa and Tsuruga was expected to be delayed by about one year. We issued a business improvement order to the Organization, saying that it did not properly report the delay in construction.
After that, Takashi Kitamura, the chairman of the organization, told reporters that he would take responsibility for this issue and resign next month.
