Narathiwat Governor Nattapong Sirichana has ordered the installation of 600 security cameras, worth Bt4 million, throughout the province to help prevent insurgent attacks.
More training will also be provided for surveillance volunteers and walkie-talkies provided to each community to help the authorities keep an eye out for suspicious activities, Nattapong said.
On February 20, a car bomb in downtown Narathiwat caused many injuries and property damage, estimated so far at Bt4.479 million.
Fourth Army Region chief Lt-General Prakarn Chonlayut said some members of the community had proposed that national-security officers use vehicles carrying proper licence plates. Some units used vehicles without plates and residents thus were not sure if they were officers’ vehicles or insurgents’.
