Officials and soldiers to be compensated for service during martial law

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wonsuwan will seek Cabinet approval for government officials and state employees of the Defence Ministry, including soldiers, to be remunerated for their service during martial law, a source said Monday.

The period in question went from May 20 last year to April 1.
“The objective is to boost the morale of officials who work in dangerous zones and risk their lives,’’ it is stated under the proposal.
There were no details on whether the proposal covered remuneration for police officers who worked in areas where martial law was imposed.
