snoop1130 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Telecom service providers will be asked to tidy up their overhead cables in Bangkok, in a fresh bid to speed up the plan by the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) and the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to put all cables underground. Placing partial onus on the telcos is one of the proposals made during a meeting today (Friday) of representatives of the NBTC, the MEA and the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), chaired by Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda. The meeting stems from the fire at Chinatown’s Sampeng market on June 26th, in which two people lost their lives and a few others suffered the effects of smoke inhalation. The fire is believed to have started in an old transformer and flames spread along the cables to adjoining shop houses.

robertson468 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 It is not just a Bangkok problem, it is a National problem, which should have been addressed by the Government years ago. Sorry to say, but yet another one of their many failures! It would appear that expenditure on military hardware takes priority over the safety of both their citizens and tourists. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
