Arthit Ourairat, rector of Rangsit University, on Wednesday threatened to lead flood-hit residents of Muang Ake housing estate, in a protest and close Vibhavdi Rangsit Road and Don Mueang Tollway if no flood relief action is taken in three days, reports said.
Mr Arthit today wrote on his Facebook website that Lak Hok, Muang Ake and Rangsit University had been totaled flooded for a month now, but the government's Flood Relief Operations Command (Froc) had paid it no attention at all.
Muang Ake is located near the border line of Bangkok and Pathum Thani, and therefore the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration should also provide assistance to the flood affected residents.
He called on residents in Muang Ake to come out and block both inbound and outbound lanes of the Vibhavadi Rangt Road and Don Mueng Tollway if there is no response from the BMA and Froc within three days.
It was reported that the rector said in an earlier posting that he had sent an urgent letter to Froc head Pol Gen Pracha Promnok and Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra asking them to help rapidly drain the floodwater out through Khlong Prem Prachakhon.
The BMA has kindly sent five pumps to us. Thanks to the BMA,” said Mr Arthit.
