webfact Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, along with Interior Minister Anupong Paojinda, toured the site of a devastating fireworks warehouse explosion in Narathiwat yesterday. The visit aimed to expedite the rehabilitation process for victims and address housing issues caused by the unfortunate incident. Chan-o-cha journeyed to Muno, a village in Sungai Kolok district, to evaluate first-hand the circumstances of those affected by the blast and subsequent fires. The Prime Minister assured the victims that financial support from the government, supplemented by private contributions, would be forthcoming. The Office of the Prime Minister is in the process of evaluating whether additional funds should be allocated to support the recovery effort. In a push to restore some semblance of normalcy for the victims, Prayut instructed local authorities to expedite the processes with the utmost urgency, to resolve the housing issues that have emerged in the wake of the explosion. by Mitch Connor Top Image courtesy of Bangkok Post Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/prime-minister-fast-tracks-aid-for-firework-warehouse-blast-victims -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-08-05 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post Summerinsiam Posted August 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2023 He is the 'caretaker' Prime minister and as such should be keeping a low profile. The country voted overwhelmingly to get rid of this incompetent stooge. The sooner that wish is fulfilled the better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Unfortunately, the transfer of central government funds into the hands of provincial and then local administration hands is open to 'misuse' Let's hope that residents affected by this explosion receive fair treatment quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
