The Democrat Party recommends that the government urgently adjust the infrastructure of Chiang Rai Province to restore it after the floods, indicating that it is necessary to hire workers and increase the number of people to help. Meanwhile, tomorrow (12 Oct), it is preparing to visit Talat Noi to see the seawater surge and the underground monkey cheek project at Wat Leng Noei Yi. Ms. Jenjira Rattanapian, spokesperson for the Democrat Party, announced that the Democrat Party is preparing to survey the amount of water in Talat Noi Subdistrict, Samphanthawong District, Bangkok and warned to monitor the flood situation in Bangkok. From the past flood situation, the Democrat Party is very concerned about the flood victims. Therefore, the Democrat Party has set up a flood monitoring center. We have warned and informed the public to be aware of the flood and high tide in October. Throughout the more than month that the party has set up the flood monitoring center, we have found that victims have contacted our cha nnels and the party has coordinated with relevant agencies to provide assistance, talked to and coordinated with the government and private sectors to provide assistance. Ms. Jenjira said that while Mr. Chalermchai Sri-on, the leader of the Democrat Party, assigned everyone to go to the area to help the people, whether in Pathum Thani or Nonthaburi, he assigned Mr. Mongkolkit Suksintharanon, the advisor to the leader of the Democrat Party, to help the people. She herself went to the area with Mr. Suchatvee Suwansawat to Chiang Rai Province to lead a team of volunteer engineers to give advice to the people who were affected and to restore the area after the flood and mudslide disaster. There is also a mobilization of supplies to help people affected by the floods. On October 12, we will go to the areas of Bangkok, Talat Noi, Samphanthawong District to monitor the high tide that has caused problems for people all along. In the afternoon, we will go to Wat Leng Noei Yi to monitor the monkey cheek project. Whi le Mr. Sombat Yasin, MP for Mae Hong Son, reported the results of the flooding in the North, he said that the water in the North has receded, but the mud is still there and it will take several more months to remove the mud from people's houses. In Mae Sai District, there is still a shortage of manpower. The military has been rotating and has not been going to the area as much as before. Some houses have not even started to be worked on because there is still a shortage of manpower. Therefore, he would like the government to send volunteers to help in Chiang Rai, similar to Mae Hong Son Province, Pai District in 2005, where we must have a plan to turn the crisis into an opportunity. Therefore, I would like the government to accelerate the adjustment of infrastructure, not just accelerate the compensation such as roads and bridges because the budget has not been allocated yet. In fact, money must be injected to create jobs and the economy will recover. Therefore, I would like the government to accelerate the implementation of infrastructure. Another part is that entrepreneurs should receive cheaper interest on loans to start their businesses because entrepreneurs have suffered a lot of damage. They must improve their businesses to continue welcoming tourists. In Chiang Rai, it should be possible to turn the crisis into an opportunity. - Source: Thai News Agency
