webfact Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Floods Continue in South and Northeast Floods are still wreaking havoc in several parts of the Kingdom. A tropical depression ravaged through Pattani province while farmland in the Northeastern region has been washed out. Suratthani province's governor, Theerayut Iamtrakul reported that more than 400 landslide victims have been successfully rescued and that a local road has been cleared following a series of landslides in many areas in the Chaiya district. He said that all of the victims were evacuated to a nearby school, and that no injuries or deaths were reported. Chiaya is a high risk district that is prone to landslides, as a river passes through the area. With expectations that water levels in the district will rise even more in a few days' time, provincial governor Theerayut said he has already come up with aid and anti flood measures. In the southern province of Pattani, a storm destroyed at least 400 homes, leaving affected residents waiting for aid. One of the storm victims, Noi Seri, said she did not know what to do, as everything was such a mess, adding that all her belongings were washed out to sea. She is calling for assistance from the government. In the Northeast, the Chee River remains worrisome as more than 10,000 rais of farmlands in Kalasin province are underwater. Reports are showing that at least 70,000 rais of agricultural land has been damaged since the flood outbreak began last month. In addition, Kosamphee National Park in Mahasarakham province is now reportedly inundated. Sources say that thousands of monkeys in the national park are being prevented by the water from finding food in the national park and that they have to wait to be fed by tourists. -- Tan Network 2010-11-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Police are ready for the upcoming Red Shirt demonstration BANGKOK, 15 November 2010 (NNT)-National Police Chief Wichian Pojphosri said the police have been prepared to provide safety in the upcoming demonstration of the anti-government group, or the Red Shirt, on Friday. According to Police Chief, the police will adopt similar crowd control measures used last year as well as other approaches if necessary, depending on the situation. The Chief has also asserted that no violence has been reported planned by the red-shirt to take place prior to their rally on Friday, adding that he has planned to ask the protestors not to block the traffic around the Rachaprasong intersection in order to reduce the congestion. As for rumors that other political groups will also make a move to coincide with the Red shirt’s rally, Police Chief General Wichian said the authority would use the same crowd control approach, generally known as korakot 52; however, whether or not the emergency decree will be retained in Bangkok would be re-assessed and discussed among related agencies first. -- NNT 2010-11-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
