Safety for Teachers in the South as School Opens

PATTANI, May 15 (TNA) – Teacher protection units, comprising police, soldiers and civil network get ready to start operations to provide security for teachers, travelling to and from school on the first day of the new semester tomorrow (May 16). Pattani governor, Kraisorn Wisitwong presided over releasing rows of combined teacher protection units, one day before the school opening. He ordered officials and security volunteers to be on alert for possible insurgent attacks after security agencies had warned about movement of the insurgent groups, active in three southern border provinces and four districts of Songkhla province. The province will beef up security, set up road checkpoints to search suspicious persons and vehicles, and keep an eye on any irregularity in the areas. (TNA)
