Protests cannot disrupt works of government officials: Pracha

State officials can run even if the protesters led by former Democrat MP Suthep Thaugsuban block more ministries and provincial halls, Deputy Prime Minister Pracha Promnog said Thursday.

Pracha said he talked to provincial governors by phone Thursday morning and they reported that the situation was under contro.
"The protest could not lead to suspension of government operations. Officials are still working at the Department of Special Investigation office. Demonstrators can only show ‘symbolic protest’ against the government," he said.
