Rescue Team Save Kitten Trapped in Well for Four Days
Picture from responders A rescue team in Ubon Ratchathani has successfully saved a stranded kitten after it fell into an abandoned 11-metre-deep well, surviving without food or water for four days. The rescue was met with widespread admiration. On 20 March, members of the Sawang Buchatham Rescue Unit and instructors from the Jack Fire Rescue Training Service were called to the scene behind the Sadawaan Group office on Warin Chamrap-Kantrarom Road, Warin Chamrap District. Using rope rescue equipment, the team assessed the situation was safe, before making their descent. The well, long disused, contained a smaller secondary pit at the bottom. A weak but still vocal female kitten with brown-and-black fur was found clinging to the lower ledge, meowing for help. Fire and rescue trainer Nakharin Songsopa confirmed that no toxic gases were present before descending down and safely retrieving the kitten. Suphawat Kamman, 53, a staff member at the Sadawaan Group, revealed that the kitten, named Nang Suea, was a stray that had been living around the office for the past couple of months. She had been cared for by staff and was often seen alongside a male cat named Panda, who sadly passed away the previous week. “Nang Suea used to sleep near Panda’s grave, which is close to the well,” Suphawat explained. “A few days after he died, she disappeared. We heard her cries from Sunday but couldn’t find her. Today, my daughter traced the sound and discovered her at the bottom of the well, so we called the rescue team for help.” Fortunately, the well contained no harmful gases, allowing the kitten to survive for four days. Suphawat expressed gratitude to the rescue team, saying, “I’m so thankful that everyone saw the value of this little life. Even though she’s just a stray kitten, she deserves to be saved.” -- 2025-03-22 -

Trump’s Power Move: Banning Masks to End Campus Chaos
TOPIC UPDATE: Columbia caves to Trump’s demands after $400M threat over campus antisemitism, will institute mask ban and more oversight Columbia University has caved to the demands of the Trump administration to restore $400 million in federal funding that was yanked over antisemitism on campus, according to a report Friday. The Morningside Heights university — which had become the epicenter of violent anti-Israel protests — agreed to implement a mask ban and put new leadership in charge of reviewing curriculum for its Middle East, South Asian and African Studies department and Center for Palestine Studies, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a memo to the administration. The school will also empower 36 campus cops to arrest students. The Trump administration yanked roughly $400 million in grants and contracts from the elite school back on March 7 over its failure to stamp out antisemitism on its campus. The threats only escalated last week when the administration released a list of nine demands that Trump officials called a “precondition” for receiving any future federal cash. “Universities must comply with all federal antidiscrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding. For too long, Columbia has abandoned that obligation to Jewish students studying on its campus. Today, we demonstrate to Columbia and other universities that we will not tolerate their appalling inaction any longer.” Based on a report by NYP 2025-03-22 -

Deadly Clash in Mae Ai Forest as Drug Traffickers Engage in Gunfight with Military
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A fierce gun battle erupted in the forests of Mae Ai district, Chiang Mai, as military forces engaged a group of drug traffickers attempting to smuggle narcotics across the northern border. The clash resulted in the deaths of two traffickers and the seizure of a significant quantity of illegal drugs, including 280,000 methamphetamine pills and 4.8 kilograms of raw opium. In response to the government’s intensified crackdown on drug trafficking, the Border Drug Suppression Task Force (NBY35), in coordination with Pha Muang Force and paramilitary rangers, launched a surveillance mission following intelligence reports of an imminent drug shipment from a neighbouring country. The operation took place near Ban Pa Lo, Mae Ai district, Chiang Mai. At approximately 19:00 on 20 March, military patrol units spotted a group of four to five individuals moving along a forested route believed to be a drug smuggling corridor. The officers ordered the suspects to halt and lay down their backpacks for inspection. However, instead of complying, the traffickers opened fire, prompting a fierce exchange of gunfire. The confrontation lasted two exchanges of gunfire, each spanning 15 minutes, as the traffickers, armed and prepared for combat, fought back against the security forces. Following the clash, two traffickers were found dead at the scene. The remaining individuals managed to flee under the cover of darkness. Military personnel secured the area overnight before conducting a thorough search at daybreak. The Pha Muang Force deployed reinforcements, including three additional operational teams, to support the search and secure the perimeter. Upon inspection, officers discovered two backpacks containing: • 280,000 methamphetamine pills • 3 blocks of raw opium, each weighing 1.6 kg, totalling 4.8 kg The deceased individuals were identified as foreign nationals believed to be members of a transnational drug syndicate. Their bodies, along with the seized drugs, were handed over to the authorities for further investigation. The operation was overseen by Major General Kidakorn Jantra, Commander of the Pha Muang Force, with Colonel Meechai Nilsat, Deputy Commander of the Pha Muang Force, present at the scene. A press briefing was later held, attended by representatives from the Mae Ai district administration, Border Patrol Police Unit 334, Narcotics Suppression Officers from Fang, local defence volunteers, and medical staff from Mae Ai Hospital. Officials praised the swift action of the military units, highlighting the operation as a significant success in Thailand’s ongoing battle against drug smuggling networks operating along the northern border. The seized narcotics and case evidence have been handed over to narcotics suppression officers for further legal proceedings. Authorities continue to pursue the remaining suspects who escaped the scene. -- 2025-03-22
