Flood risk against the Bang Chan Industrial Estate in eastern Bangkok has reduced after the water gates of Klong 8, Klong 9 and Klong 10 canals in Pathum Thani were closed Thursday, according to Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra.
Local people in Pathum Thani, however, are protesting against the closing of Klong 9 Canal’s water gate. They have demanded that the Flood Relief Operation Centre (FROC) open the water gate immediately.
