The Flood Relief Operations Command has not given an order to remove 'big bags' for 30 meters from the flood barrier near Don Mueang airport as reported, Froc spokesman Pongsapat Pongcharoen said on Sunday.
Pol Gen Pongsapat said Froc had just concluded a meeting and it did not make such an order.
The line of big bags was intended to hold the floodwater back from surging to inner Bangkok. Consultations must first be made with people in the area of any of the big bags should be removed, he said.
Froc's denial came after it was earlier reported that it had agreed to remove some of the big bags by 6pm today to make a 30m opening following protests by residents from more than 20 communities in Don Muang district.
