The residents said the plant, to be built in Tambon Na Neu, would be within 500 metres of a school and community and the project didn’t reveal possible negative impacts nor give clear solutions.
Ao Leuk Corporation Co Ltd held the third public hearing yesterday to explain the project and hear opinions of residents. The one-hour gathering was attended by 300 residents as well as representatives from related provincial agencies and ended with most residents voting against the project.
