Yingluck fine-tunes security strategies for deep South

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra Friday announced a plan to fine-tune strategies to deal with violence in the southern border provinces.

As part of the strategies, the government will focus on maintaining security in the deep South rather than on quelling insurgency.

On Friday, Yingluck set up a committee to be in charge of the strategies to maintain security in the deep South. She assigned Deputy Prime Minister Kowit Wattana to head the committee; the Army commander-in-chief was named deputy chairman.
