Sandbag wall at Hok Wa Canal to be completed in 48 hours: Sukhumbhand

Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra on Tuesday said the reinforcement of the sandbag wall at Hok Wa Canal would be finished within the 48 hours set to prevent flood waters from overflowing into Sai Mai and Don Muang districts.

 

He was speaking in a press conference after visiting the site where the wall was being reinforced this morning.
He warned Bangkok residents on Monday to stay calm and keep monitoring the situation during the next 48 hours during which he would have the existing walls along Sam Wa canal reinforced from half a metre to three metres in height over a sixkm stretch.
