If high-level authorities had approved the sale of up to 75 kilograms of rotting meat at markets, police have been asked to look into the matter.

Atchariya Ruangratanapong, an activist, requested on Monday that the Central Investigation Bureau take legal action against two transport companies and five top Livestock Development Department representatives.

He claimed that they were thought to have sold about 75 tonnes of rotting meat to areas.

Three containers containing the meat were impounded for inspection at Laem Chabang slot in the province of Chon Buri in 2018.

The authorities gave two importing companies permission to grab the meat for sale at nearby markets in 2020.

The majority of the meat, according to Mr. Atchariya, was now rotten.
