Regarding electricity, I urge the Electricity Authority to quickly survey and restore power to residents as soon as the area is safe.” ."
Regarding the industrial factory in Sri Maha Phot District where chemical waste leaked, Mr. Pol.Peer instructed the Deputy Governor to consider legal actions and penalties alongside relief efforts for the people, noting that such leaks should not occur if factories maintain proper standards and control systems.
