The war rooms of the Supreme Command and the three armed forces were ordered to monitor the protest on the Ratchadamnone Road on around the clock basis, a military source said.
The source said the military leaders feared that the protest would escalate out of control because the number of protesters was very high and protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban might not be able to control the situation.
The source said the military leaders have instructed their subordinates to stand by to come out to help police keep order if police cannot control the situation.
