Udon Thani deputy governor Thanapol Chantharanimi has promised to launch an investigation into an alleged “Mafia” gang in Ban Dung district which has allegedly intimidated the district’s deputy chief to the extent that he has asked for a transfer out of the district.

 

The deputy governor gave the promise as he was in Tambon Ban Muang, Ban Dung district, this morning (Sunday) to attend a religious ritual to pay respect to a late monk, Chao Poo Srisuttho.

 

Residents of Tambon Ban Muang believe that blessing from Chao Poo Srisuttho will bring rains before the start of the rice planting season.
