SRT adds more South-bound carriages for Hari Raya holidaymakers

YALA, 15 July 2015 (NNT) – The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has boosted South-bound train services to cater to the demand of Muslim Thais planning to celebrate Hari Raya in their home towns.


The SRT has added two more carriages to the trains heading towards southern provinces. More than 2,000 holidaymakers reportedly caught a train to the South yesterday.

Aside from increasing services, SRT authorities stepped up security measures to ensure the safety of passengers. All luggage must be checked to prevent possession of weapons. Passengers were also warned not to attend to the luggage or belongings of unknown people.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri or the fast breaking festival is one of the most important holidays for Muslims. The Sheikhul Islamd Office calls on Muslims to observe the moon on Thursday to designate this year’s Hari Raya. The festival falls on either Friday or Saturday.

Interim charter amendments take effect Thursday
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- The amendments of the 2014 Interim Constitution will take effect Thursday after the amendment bill was published in the Royal Gazette Wednesday.

The amendment will pave the way for a national referendum on the draft constitution.

Other revisions include extending the Constitution Drafting Committee's (CDC) timeframe to revise the second draft of the new charter to 90 days, the provision calling for the dissolution of the NRC after voting on the new charter to give way to a reform mobilization committee, and the provision calling for a new CDC to be established in the event the public referendum rejects the draft charter.
