Family left homeless as fire from sugarcane plantation destroys houses

By THE NATION

 

 

A student and his parents had to take refuge in a relative's home after their house in Kanchanaburi province was destroyed by a fire that spread from a nearby sugarcane plantation on Tuesday (January 28).

 

The 10th-standard student, Chanchira Henthongdee, was visited later on Wednesday (January 29) by the principal of Prathandongrungwittayakarn School, accompanied by the school’s teachers.

 

 

The student’s parents explained that a sugarcane plantation was set fire to on Tuesday (January 28) and the fire spread and destroyed their house as well as the neighbouring house of the student’s grandmother.

 

 

Presently, the student and her parents are living temporarily in a relative’s house.

Please share this far and wide. A family have lost 2 homes due to the irresponsible behaviour of this sugar cane burners. Will anything be done for them? probably not. The cane grower should have to pay for this, no doubt, as it is unlikely this family have insurance.

 

Numerous families are suffering all over Thailand and nothing is still being done. TIT. ????

The burning issue here is whether the local administration and possibly higher government departments will step in and assist this poor family whose lives have been affected by the illegal and irresponsible actions of the neighboring sugar plantation's owners.  My personal reaction, knowing how things work here is :probably not.
