Government House, 15 Oct – “Suriya”, Minister of Transport, admits that part of the garbage problem at Mo Chit comes from shared buses, threatens to remove them from the system, prepares to call the Department of Land Transport and the State Railway of Thailand to discuss solving the garbage problem at Mo Chit.
Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit gave an interview about Suphanat Meenchainan, an MP from the Prachachon Party, who revealed that there was garbage around the Mo Chit Bus Terminal, but the owner of the place, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), was not interested in taking care of it. He was aware of the matter and ordered relevant officials to go down and take care of it, which was already cleaned up at 6:00 p.m. yesterday (October 14).
When asked that it seems that the officials do not pay attention to take care of it continuously, causing problems to occur from time to time, in the form of problems that are gradually solved, Mr. Suriya said that part of the p
roblem must be accepted as being caused by the shared service vehicles that bring garbage to dump, and if this kind of problem continues, we will consider and assign the Department of Land Transport to not allow it to be included in the shared service vehicle system.
When asked whether officials responsible for supervision, such as the SRT, would have a penalty schedule for negligence in supervision, Mr. Suriya said that a meeting would be called between the Department of Land Transport and the State Railway of Thailand to jointly consider how to permanently solve the problem. -316.-Thai News Agency
