Nearly 100, 000 rai ( approximately 39,500 acres ) of agricultural land in this upper northeastern province have been submerged, with Sri Songkhram district suffering the most from overflow caused by two significant Mekong River tributaries.

Flooded paddy fields are expected to suffer significant damage if Mekong levels do n’t drop in the next few weeks. The creek has been at almost 12 metres for nearly a fortnight, resulting in widespread flooding.

According to the most recent survey, almost 100 000 ray of agricultural property in Nakhon Phanom have been greatly flooded. In Sri Songkhram, over 55, 000 ray of rice grounds have been inundated.

Animals ranchers even experienced problems because they had to move their animals higher, which caused a shortage of animal feed. They have contacted the authorities for help in obtaining compressed grain straw.

People in Pak Oun community, located along the Nam Oun and Nam Songkhram river, have been relying on boats for transportation due to heavy flood, which has submerged about 20 to 30 houses. Around 300 homes in Tha Bo town in Tha Bo Songkhram have also been affected by flooding.

Ladda Seekanin, a 76-year-old Pak Oun citizen, said that her community is hit by the flow from the two rivers every year, but this year’s position is more intense.

She continued,” Both state and private organizations have been distributing relief supplies to the affected homes.”

A 22-member board has been appointed by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra to guide the government’s monetary stimulus plan to ensure that it can fulfill its promise to boost the economy.

The visit comes after the government’s policy statement was presented to parliament next week. The government intends to concentrate on policies that will lower household investing, lower living costs, and boost employment and salary.

The table, chaired by Ms Paetongtarn, comprises nine government ministries including the finance secretary and his two deputies, the prime minister’s secretary-general, continuous secretary of the PM’s Office, the Finance Ministry and the Interior Ministry, secretary-general of the National Economic and Social Development Council, the Budget Bureau chairman, the Bank of Thailand government, president of the Digital Government Development Agency, president of the Government Financial Institutions Association, and leader of the Thai Bankers ‘ Association.

The director of the Fiscal Policy Office serves as an assistant to the secretary, while the permanent secretary of finance also serves as the board’s secretary.

The board is tasked with designing the project’s policy, objectives, implementation approach, criteria and conditions, as well as identifying sources of funding, to be submitted to the cabinet.

It is also in charge of developing guidelines for database management, including those relating to data collection, use, processing, and disclosure in order to aid in the delivery of economic stimulus projects.

To support its work, the board may form working groups and invite people to offer their views or input. State organizations and private companies are urged to work together.

Meanwhile, deputy finance minister Julapun Amornvivat stated yesterday that the second phase of the digital wallet initiative will be carried out with funds already designated for the project.

He was speaking out about the possibility of the second phase being postponed after the government had indefinitely delayed announcing the results for smartphone users.

The government made the decision to give the distribution of funds, which will be made in cash, to the 14.5 million people who are currently on state welfare cards and disability cards.

According to Mr. Julapun, the second phase, which would be distributed using the digital wallet, would serve as the foundation for the digital economy, costing approximately 180 billion baht.

” We want to lay the foundations for the digital economy, as well as to stimulate the economy. We remain firmly committed to our goal”, he said.

Mr. Julapan, the main opposition People’s Party MP, asked Sirikanya Tansakun about the delayed announcement of the recipients ‘ registration results during the House meeting. He said the delay was to prevent confusion while the 14.5 million recipients receive cash handouts.

According to state-run Transport Co., New Year’s travelers purchasing interprovincial bus tickets from Bangkok to the North and Northeast may flee from Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal Station.

Passengers who have pre-booked tickets for Transport Co’s buses scheduled to depart from the central train station rather than the Bangkok Bus Terminal ( Chatuchak ), or Mo Chit 2, will depart from the central train station, according to acting president Atthawit Rakjamroon, who spoke yesterday.

During this time, those who have n’t pre-booked tickets will depart from Bangkok Bus Terminal.

The main van terminal’s gridlock has been reduced by switching to Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal.

Additionally, it makes it simple for vehicle passengers who reserve their tickets to get to the main train station, which has plenty of bus parking space.

A complete system of Red and Blue energy carriages, city buses, and taxis serves Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal.

Booking can be made via the Transport Co’s online platforms, such as “facebook .com/BorKorSor99″ on Facebook, Line ID” @บขส. 99″ and the “tcl99web. travel. i. th” website.

Tickets are available at seat bars at Transport Co bus stations throughout the country.

People can call 02936–3660 for more information.

Those who do n’t have advance reservations can still make purchases and board buses from Bangkok Bus Terminal ( Chatuchak ).

Suriya Jungrungreangkit, the chancellor of transportation, confirmed that the government does not intend to offer the operator, Don Muang Tollway Plc, an extension of the Don Muang Tollway’s activity concession in exchange for a cap on the toll.

The verification refuted news reports that an improvement was being planned in exchange for dropping the burden by 5 to 10 baht starting in December.

According to Mr. Suriya, citing findings from a research conducted by the Department of Highways ( DoH), it is not worthwhile to extend the agreement to maintain the current burden charges until the recent agreement expires.

Mr. Suriya formerly made it known that the turnpike operator intended to increase fees on December 22. The chancellor apparently set up a study to look into the possibility of the company choosing to receive an expanded concession, as long as the costs are not raised.

According to Mr. Suriya, the technician is prepared to implement two more burdens rises, one in December and the second one in December 2029, before the turnpike agreement expires in 2034.

A new turnpike management and toll calculation system may be developed after the concession is over.

The secretary continued,” We are asking drivers to be patient while we work on this issue,” adding that the government will occasionally try to persuade Don Muang Tollway to provide discounts to customers.

Currently, a 5 % discount is being given but a bigger one would be better, he said, adding the DoH is in talks with the tollway operator on the issue.

The burden fees range from 40 to 170 ringgit, depending on the size of the car and the traveling distance, said a cause.

Sarawut Songsivilai, DoH director-general, said before the investigation by the DoH suggested that after the agreement expires, the costs may be brought down to as low as 20 ringgit or scrapped entirely.

Despite his claims of political immunity, Pheu Thai MP Gen Pisal Wattanawongkiri, who is facing imprisonment for his part in the 2004 Tak Bai murder, is now able to face legal action under the 2017 law, according to House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha.

The former leader of the Fifth Army Place is named in an arrest warrant issued by Narathiwat Criminal Court next year, along with six other folks, for failing to appear for questioning about his position in the murders. In overall, seven high-ranking officers are accused of being responsible in the murder, which saw 85 people killed.

According to Mr Wan, political resistance, as outlined by Section 125 of the law, is meant to protect legislators from cruel prosecutors while performing their parliamentary duties. He noted that a section that states that courts may override political immunity if needed follows the section.

As a result, courts do n’t need to ask the House of Representatives for permission to investigate or prosecute MPs as long as it does n’t interfere with their responsibilities, he said.

For example, a judge does have the House’s consent to awaken MPs on time when they are not scheduled to carry out official duties as a lawmaker, he said.

When they fail to respond to these indictments, a judge may even issue and implement an arrest warrant, he added.

In response to a text the Courts of Justice sent to the House asking for the House’s participation in carrying out the Gen Pisal’s arrest warrant over the Tak Bai murder, Mr. Wan made the remarks.

Gen Pisal was on bored left yesterday, said Mr Wan.

Following a march in front of the Tak Bai police station in Narathiwat on October 25, 2004, the Tak Bai murder occurred.

Thin Muhamad Noor Matha, the speaker of the House, announced on Thursday that he had never received a petition calling for an investigation into Gen. Prawit Wongsuwon’s regular absence from legislative sessions.

He said when the complaint is received, it will be processed according to political processes.

He said that as it involves the moral do of MPs, it will be forwarded to the House committee on morality, which comprises himself, the opposition leader, members from all social events, and former Members.

Mr. Wan responded to inquiries regarding the complaint that Prompong Nopparit, a former spokesman for the Pheu Thai Party, claimed he was submitting to request a review of Gen. Prawit’s attendance information.

Mr. Prompong claimed that Gen. Prawit was hardly ever seen at House meetings, which raises the question of whether the PPRP leader, who is a list party MP, has fulfilled his legal and social obligations as an MP.

The ethics committee will examine the subject in accordance with the House rules to determine whether Gen Prawit had actually committed an honest offense.

When questioned about whether Gen Prawit had actually requested a leave of absence before taking a break, Mr. Wan replied that he had no idea because the House secretariat normally handles the situation directly.

MPs may lose their lawmaker status if they consistently fail to go House conferences without giving a justification, even though he does not need his consent before taking leave.

Some members of the session were unable to attend any meetings because of their illness, but they did make sure to show up for critical votes, he claimed.

” ]MPs ‘ ] reasons are taken into account when considering matters like this”, he said.
