CHAIYAPHUM (NNT) - Prime Minister and Defense Minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, has visited Chaiyaphum province to meet the people and to follow up on the water shortage situation. He said the government is implementing a project to replenish and improve water sources to curb the problem of droughts and floods.

 

The Prime Minister and a team of officials arrived earlier at Khon Kaen Airport. They were welcomed parliamentary members (MPs) of the Palang Pracharath Party, including Somsak Khoon-ngern, who won the by-election in Khon Kaen’s Constituency 7 last Sunday (Dec 22). The Prime Minister said he wanted the MPs to look after the people. He also thanked supporters of the Palang Pracharath Party and said this is a government for the people.

 

The Prime Minister then traveled to Chaiyaphum province via helicopter. He inspected the water shortage situation at Nong Haen village and met many villagers. He received a report about the progress of the government’s project to replenish and improve water sources in the northeastern province. Local government agencies and communities, have worked together to dredge canals to supply water to four subdistricts, namely Bung Khla, Phon Thong, Nong Pai and Kod Tum. The project is to help villagers have sufficient water during the drought.

 

The Prime Minister said he was worried for the people in drought-hit areas, but he is happy to see many people working together to improve the water situation. The project must be implemented continuously to ensure sufficient water supply. The government has also carried out various projects, such as a canal dredging project and the Lam Sapung reservoir project. The reservoir is expected to start operating in the next five years.

 

The structure will store 32 million cubic meters of water and is connected to different canals in the area.

 

The Prime Minister and the officials planted khiaosawoey mango trees and vetiver grass near Tao canal in Nong Haen village. The Prime Minister also observed the operations of an innovative sugarcane farming project in Khok Sa-at subdistrict in Phu Khiao district in the afternoon.

Seems to be the standard response  and then the standard action to follow will be....oh, there will be no action. But there may be more talk if the community keeps asking questions.
