SEOUL, Dec 1 Asia Pulse - North Korea will block all South Korean publications from entering the country starting this week, a government source said Sunday.

In the past, the North permitted 20 newspapers from nine publishers to be brought over the demarcation line every day to be read by South Korean employees working at the Kaesong Industrial District Management Committee (KIDMAC).

Ordinary visitors and workers coming to Kaesong were barred from bringing South Korean publications. If caught, the books, magazines and newspapers were confiscated, but the person was allowed through.

"The decision can be seen as extending the ban that had been in place for ordinary people to KIDMAC employees," he said. The action goes into effect on Monday.
