Abhisit prodding FROC to solve southern flood

The Flood Relief Operations Centre should take a more active role in the flood-hit areas in the South, Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Thursday.

“The government is misdirecting its efforts to publicise about the disbursement of recovery payments rather than solving the seasonal floods in the South,” he said.
Abhisit said he would today visit Chumphon to assess the flood-related damage. He plans on Saturday to inspect the flooding in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
He said the South faced a different set of flood-related problems each year, calling for the authorities to brainstorm in order to map out a sustainable solution for each locality.
