Thai PM: Government works hard to relieve floods
BANGKOK, October 1 (TNA) - Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has promised that her Pheu Thai Party-led administration will continue working hard to relieve the country's ongoing inundation crisis and to assist flood victims.
Speaking during her first weekly 30-minute radio address to the public, broadcast live nationwide this morning, Yingluck acknowledged that floods in several provinces remain critical, but her government will keep on solving flood-related problems with official assistance to be urgently dispatched to affected households.
The Thai premier thanked all parties concerned, including the Royal Thai Police, the military, public and private agencies and even the general public, for their full cooperation with her government to help ease hardships of the local flood victims.
Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department issued an updated warning for people living in the Thai North and Northeast to brace for widespread scattered downpours, with heavy falls in some areas and possibly flash floods or landslides, over the next couple of days, influenced by Nesat Tropical Storm and a southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.
The weather bureau said that local trawlers should also proceed with caution and small boats should keep ashore over the coming days due to strong wind and high waves as high as some 2-3 metres offshore. (TNA)
