Interior Minister Gen Anupong Paojinda will accompany him. The premier will also be briefed about the Damrongtham Center established as complaint center.
General Anupong said he was not worried about the trip although residents in the region were said to have different political viewpoints from the government.
He believed Isan people were well aware of the current circumstance. “Despite the differences, we all should be able to coexist peacefully as peace is the foundation of development in all aspects,” Gen Anupong said.
The government is ready to reach out to areas experiencing water shortages. It has drawn up a contingency plan and will provide advice and assistance to affected residents.
Underground water will be exploited in areas where there are no natural water sources, to assure sufficient water for consumption.
The premier will visit Khon Kaen in the morning and Kalasin in the afternoon.
