Move Forward MP proposes measure to cope with forest fires, trans-border haze

[snoop1130]

 

A Move Forward MP for Chiang Mai province has proposed a 5-step measure to cope with forest fires and haze pollution in Thailand, especially in northern provinces.

 

Phattarapong Leelaphat, speaking during the debate on the government’s policy statement in parliament today (Tuesday), said that he is disappointed that the government has not treated forest fires and haze as an urgent matter, even though the problem has been added to the national agenda.

 

He said his proposed measures encompass the ASEAN Agreement of Transboundary Haze Pollution (AATHP), the Thai Constitution, which guarantees the protection of rights and quality of life of the people and the right of affected people to sue agencies which cause direct or indirect pollution affecting their livelihoods or health.

The politicians can talk about all of the agreements and constitutional rights they want but it won’t solve the problem unless laws are enforced.  For those of us who live up north (I live in Chiang Rai) we can look forward to another year of deadly smog.

 

At least this is a very small step forward, somebody in government is talking about it several months before the pollution hits.
