He also instructed to expedite support and assistance for the guardians and families affected in all aspects.
“To ensure swift, thorough, and effective operations, I emphasize six key directives: 1.

Enhance security measures with stricter surveillance and inspection of risk areas and suspicious locations, especially government offices, schools, transit routes, and communities; 3. Safeguard public safety by coordinating with relevant agencies to facilitate traffic and inform the public to avoid affected areas, and immediately report any suspicious objects without approaching or touching them.” Mr. Worasit said.
Mr. Worasit continued: 4. Accelerate coordination among all units to support Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams and forensic officers for careful and safe investigations; 5. Provide continuous situation reports, closely monitor developments, and assess the situation promptly to implement appropriate response measures; and 6. Quickly assist and care for the injured, directing local administration and related agencies to coordinate with medical and emergency rescue teams to transport victims to hospitals and closely follow their conditions, especially the students injured in the latest incident.
“Besides strict enforcement of security measures, public participation is crucial for area surveillance. I urge citizens to be vigilant and immediately inform local administration, village headmen, or police if they notice suspicious persons, vehicles, or items. I also ask everyone to closely follow official information and strictly adhere to traffic and travel guidance from authorities to ensure maximum safety.” Mr. Worasit said further.
