According to the Office of Attorney-General, the families of some individuals who perished in the van fire horror have attempted to recover the sum of 1.21 million baht, despite the fact that they had no say in raising the kids.
According to Kosolwat Inthuchanyong, head of the company for rights security and legal support under the OAG, the municipal prosecutors office in Uthai Thani has reached out to the families of the victims and found some irregularities.
Twenty kids and three teachers were killed last Tuesday when their vehicle caught flames on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road in Pathum Thani while they were on a school trip from the state’s Wat Khao Praya Sangkharam School. According to Mr. Kosolwat, steps were being taken to help families of the van inferno’s victims, including teachers and students who had been injured and killed.
Payment was being distributed to affected communities, under a plan approved by the government, and lawyers were on hand to help participants fill out important documents, he said. The company may also make sure that the deceased and injured’s people received the full payment they were entitled to.
But, Mr. Kosolwat claimed issues have arisen where some families of some individuals have stepped forward to claim settlement despite having no influence over their children’s development. From a younger age, these parents had abandoned the kids to relatives or friends.
Some babies were cared for by a single family, according to Mr. Kosolwat. The other kids have then filed a partial or complete contest over the amount of payment.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission is looking into whether state officers were involved in the alleged unlawful assembly of oil tanks on the buses the organization hired to transport students and teachers.
Higher requirements
The Thailand Consumer Council, however, has come up with a plan to ramp up requirements of college rides and in people transportation, to be forwarded to the state this year.
On Saturday class getaways must be arranged to fit certain ages of students, according to Kongsak Chuenkrailas, assistant director of the council’s sub-committee on transportation and vehicles. In next week’s vacation, kindergarteners and older students were travelling up and heading to the same sights.
Forty-seater cars, or larger automobiles, may take out plan that offers at least 30 million bass compensation to people in case of accidents. Travel bus companies are currently required to purchase a policy for their trucks with a minimum of 10 million baht of insurance. In contrast, the government may ask the government to include disaster drills in the school curriculum, to be passed on as part of the scout training.
To stop scams and confusion, deputy education minister Surasak Phancharoenworakul said on Saturday that the ministry would be the only party soliciting donations for the bus accident victims and their families. A young student who was suffering from serious burns was being treated for a skin graft at the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health, according to Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin.
