Special holidays may be extended: Pracha

Justice Minister Pracha Promnok said Saturday that he will consult Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra about extension of the special holiday period.

Pracha, head of the Flood Relief Operations Centre, said he would have to first discuss with the prime minister to determine whether the holidays would be extended and how many more days should be declared holidays.
He said the situation will have to be assessed on the daily basis.
The Cabinet has declared Saturday, Friday and Monday extra holidays to encourage Bangkok
residents to leave the capital ahead of expected flooding.
