Governors told to closely monitor local administrators

The Interior Ministry has ordered provincial governors to ensure that local administrative organisations do not use their state budgets to organise trips to Bangkok as part of their efforts to show moral support for former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra on August 25.
These local administrative organisations are said to have organised training and field trips to Bangkok, enabling large numbers of Yingluck supporters to show up on “judgement day”.
Deputy premier Prawit Wongsuwan said on Wednesday that the government would take precautionary measures to prevent any unrest around the Supreme Court’s premises on August 25 because several thousand Yingluck supporters were expected to show up.
