Finance Ministry asks BMA to drain canal near Government Complex
Deputy Finance Minister Viroon Tejapaibul Wednesday urged the city administration to drain water in a canal near the Government Complex in Chaeng Wattana.
Viroon had Treasury Department Director-General Naris Chaiyasutr send an urgent letter to the city administration to drain the water in Eduan Canal.
The letter asked the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to lower the level of the canal by 40 centimetres so that it would not overflow to flood the Government Complex.
The Treasury Department also sought help from the Army to build flood embankments to block the flooding of the main road of the complex.
