Transport Ministry confident in state measures to prevent floods

BANGKOK, 13 May 2012 (NNT) – The Transport Ministry is confident that the government’s measures to handle future floods will be effective, particularly with the construction of new dykes along the western bank of Chao Phraya River.

Deputy Transport Minister Chatchart Sithipan said that the government has made progress on the post-flood road repairs and the construction of a new road along the western bank of the Chao Phraya River, which will be used as a floodway and to ease traffic flow in the future.

Mr. Chatchart’s update was made after his inspection trip to Nakhon Sawan and Samut Sakhon provinces to check on the irrigation system on the Chao Phraya’s western bank, which is a part of the Transport Ministry’s flood prevention project.

He stated that all projects will soon be executed, with the first phase expected to complete before the rainy season arrives.

The Deputy Transport Minister added that all projects are long-term ones and need to be continuously executed, particularly the dyke construction, which is aimed at helping upstream floodwater flow more naturally towards the sea.

Mr. Chatchart is confident that all state-initiated projects will be effective in handling this year’s flood, as all related plans will be efficiently integrated to achieve the best results.
