The Peacekeeping Operations Centre has reaffirmed that it will not block protest activities carried out within legal limits.
Police forces would focus on ensuring peace and order, facilitating traffic flows and safeguarding Government House, Parliament and residences of government leaders.
“The Metropolitan Police Bureau will form nine rapid response teams as a precaution to respond to any protest-related situation,” POC spokesman Police Maj General Piya Uthayo said Monday.
Police commanders in Bangkok have been assigned oversee riot forces deployed at strategic areas near the seat of government.
Police put up head-high barriers at main roads near Government House. Anti-riot forces made preparations for crowd control in case protesters decided to encroach on government installations.
