During Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s visit to the North yesterday, residents of Ban Huay Pha Tuen and Yom Ban Doi in tambon Pa Miang submitted their complaint.

The team requests that the National Land Policy Board’s forest land management plan be repealed and that a 2010 regulation be put into effect that completely recognizes the rights of ethnic groups in Thailand.

According to Surasee Kittimonthon, secretary-general of the Office of National Water Resources( ONWR ), six nations along the Mekong River have vowed to combat climate change.

He claimed that on September 10 and 13, the ONWR represented Thailand at the discussions of the 18th World Water Congress and the 3rd Lancang-Mekong Water Resource Cooperation Forum in Beijing. Senior officials from six Mekong – Lancang Cooperation ( MLC) member nations, including Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand, were also present at the meetings. The Mekong River feeds 326 million individuals in those nations and is 4, 880 kilometers long.

According to Mr. Surasee, the meetings were held to discuss technology and knowledge as well as to present the results of projects supported by an MLC particular fund. The meetings also provided updates on the development of the participant countries’ Mekong-Lancang water management assistance concept trade.

According to Mr. Surasee,” Thailand stressed the significance of the cooperation between member countries in water source control through every system of society, including state agencies, secret and civil society sectors, or even women and youth organizations to address the impact of climate change such as flooded, drought, and an increasing demand for new water.”

According to him, Thailand has put forth a water management strategy based on its 20-year masterplan to manage water sustainably in accordance with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

In order to improve data sharing about source operations on the Mekong’s water flow, water release, and solutions to lessen the effects of drought or flooding along the areas in the countries upstream of the river, he added that the member countries had also agreed to have the first stage of their mutual study.

He declared that research would be conducted by a mutual professional team. Additionally, a combined Lancang-Mekong study will be conducted to examine the effect on communities along the river.

Chiang Mai: A group of racial Karen people in the Doi Saket city petitioned the government on Sunday to end a forest land management plan because it is detrimental to their way of life.

During Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s visit to the North on Sunday, cultural people from Ban Huay Pha Tuen and Yom Ban Doi from the tambon Pa Miang area of the Doni Saket district submitted their request. & nbsp,

The group requests that the National Land Policy Board’s ( NLPB ) policy on forest land management be repealed, along with a cabinet resolution from August 3, 2010, that fully recognizes the rights of ethnic groups in Thailand, as well as the Prime Ministers’ Office regulation on land and natural resources management.

The villagers run the risk of losing the property that has been given to them by the NLBP in order to support themselves, according to the group.

Even before the latest forest land control system was developed, the villagers have lived on forest lands for generations.

” Under the NLBP’s maxims of forest land management, the rights of individuals to live in a forest area are just not recognized.” We are requesting a group property title deed for this reason, the group stated.

Tribal villagers will be able to carry on living and preserving their cultural way of life thanks to community land deeds.

According to the group, the NLBP’s so-called Green Economy policy, which would increase the number of trees in forest areas by 40 % in particular, needs to be abandoned because it benefits investors more than the local villagers.

The group also demanded an apology from the government for enacting for difficult policies that violated tribal peoples’ human rights.

KANCHANABURI: On Saturday, a Myanmar girl was detained in the northern province’s Sangkhla Buri district on suspicion of possessing 24 magazines containing M16 ammunition as well as 920 empty cartridges.

After being informed by company employees that a brownish package containing items thought to be bullets had been discovered at the office, police hurried to Moo 2 community in tambon Nong Lu, Sangkhla Buri area. The team claimed to have seen the materials when they peered through a hole into the package.

Peerapol Pannaree at home No. 241 at Moo 2, tambon Nong Lu, was the recipient of the package. A receiver by the name of Porntip( no last name ) sent it from tambon Nong Sak in the Ban Bung area of Chon Buri province.

Officers discovered 18 boxes inside the package, each containing 50 rounds of ammunition and one container holding 20 sessions. What they initially believed to be bullets, however, were actually 920 clear M16 weapons cartridges. Along with four journals containing 30 shells of M16 weapons each, 20 magazines with 20 rounds each were also discovered in the package.

The authorities ordered company employees to deliver the package to the house while they watched from a distance in order to catch the device. A female emerged to pick up the package around 7 o’clock. She was taken into custody and interrogated at the police place.

The girl identified herself as Porntip, a 13-year-old illegal immigrant from Myanmar of Mon ethnic origins.

She claimed that the package was not hers and that she had just seen it left in front of the house when she went outside to appear.

The person may become detained for additional questioning, according to the police. She was immediately accused of possessing weapons without authorization and entering and remaining in the country illegally.

Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, declared that his administration would end the misuse of chalk supplements during its term and that measures would concentrate on swiftly seizing the assets of drug dealers.

While overseeing the burning of 25 kilograms of drugs on Sunday in Samut Prakan state, the excellent secretary made the announcement. Chalk pills weighing 12 tonnes, crystal meth weighed 11 tons, and 418 kilograms of cocaine were among the illegal drugs that were destroyed from finalized cases.

According to Mr. Srettha,” Narcotics issues have been on the government’s federal mission since its formation.”

According to him, the government would do everything in its power to lessen the issue of illegal drugs during its first year in office, and chalk capsules would vanish during that time.

In his capacity as prime minister, Mr. Srettha stated that” I lead the coalition of work from all organizations and people to solve the problem, and I did keep monitoring improvement.”

” This government will stop using meth tablets, and the issue must be resolved within a month.” At the cocaine burning occurrence, the prime minister declared,” I will kill all of them, like what you see now.”

He asserts that the swift arrest of drug dealers’ assets and the prompt damage of seized drugs may be effective solutions.

Drug dealers will be financially sound enough to continue their narcotics business if regulators take too long to seize their assets, according to Mr. Srettha.

Drug traffickers need to be dealt with aggressively. These individuals are thieves, and they shouldn’t just be locked up. The loss of their possessions is what they fear the most. The prime minister said,” I ask organizations to seize their property as soon as possible and not to let them become transferred easily.”

Drug addiction treatment, substance abuse prevention, and the eradication of drug smuggling will all be additional solutions.

According to Thai Food Mill Association ( TFMA) Pornsil Patcharintanakul, the Europeon Union( EU ) has begun to enforce the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism ( CBAM ), which allows for a price to be put on the carbon emitted during the production of carbon-intensive goods entering the EU. To reduce CO2 emissions, Thailand should outlaw the burning of stubble from corn and other crops.

The PM2.5 sand, which has affected Thailand’s northeastern region, according to Mr. Pornsil, is a regional issue. He claimed that a large portion of the polluting debris is imported from nearby nations. Whether the areas in the neighboring nations are caused by crop using or fire is unclear. So, he added, government-to-government cooperation is required to address this issue.

Thailand had put an end to this exercise in the nation before it can request that other nations stop the burning.

Thailand does not already have a ban on straw burning. He claimed that it has only requested that farmers refrain from burning the straw for a specific amount of time.

According to Mr. Pornsil, it is now time for Thailand to outlaw all burning activities in accordance with the Good Agricultural Practice ( GAP ), a certification system for agriculture that specifies the steps that must be taken in order to produce food for consumers or further processing that is safe and wholesome using sustainable methods.

The government’s food production process will reduce CO2 emissions as a result of the ban.

The CBAM, which enables a price to be placed on the carbon emitted during the production of carbon-intensive products that are entering the EU, has been implemented by Thailand’s major trading partner, the European Union. He explained that Thailand must adhere to the GAP common as a result.

Thailand exports meal on a regular basis. Thai food exports does become subject to a rate adjustment under the CBAM if carbon emissions interfere with the food production process.

Thailand’s food industry and the market as a whole may be impacted, and Thailand had run the risk of losing competitiveness in the global market.

He claimed that in order to offer solutions to the danger, the TFMA has requested a conference with the minister of crops.
