Multilateral panel sought to solve BMA conflict with Mahakan Fort Community
Play
The Mahakan Fort Community Thursday called on the prime minister to set up a multilateral committee to help solve the ongoing conflict with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA).
The BMA, on the other hand, is insisting that everybody in the community vacate the premises as soon as possible and has said it will not be part of any committee until its structure and authority is made clear.
Last weekend, 12 houses were razed to the ground as part of the BMA’s first phase in removing the community and beautifying the area. However, conflicts came to a head when BMA tried to demolish houses that were not part of the agreement.
