Play
The National Council for Peace and Order did not discuss the lifting of martial law during its meeting Friday as earlier expected.
Prime Minister and NCPO chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha assigned NCPO secretary-general and Deputy Defence Minister Get Udomdej Sitabutr to chair the meeting.
First Army Area Command Lt Gen Thirachai Nakwanit has said the NCPO might be asked to consider lifting martial law in tourist areas during the meeting Friday.
But the meeting did not discuss the issue. A source said the regional Army areas are still in the process of evaluating the situation for considering whether the martial law should be lifted.
The source said the Second and Third Army areas, which are in charge of the North and Northeast, have detected that there are still underground groups campaigning against the NCPO.
The two regional Army areas found that the groups dared not campaign against the NCPO openly because the martial law is still imposed.
