PM promises flood plan

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said on Saturday morning that the water management plan will be seen early next year.

In her “Yingluck government meets people” talk show on NBT this morning, Ms Yingluck said the plan will show overall outlook on measures to be implemented to prevent recurrence of flood in the long term.

The government will regularly inform the public on the flood prevention plan. In the meantime, the flood affected small and medium enterprises must be provided with needed assistance accordingly, she added.

Asked about budget limitation that could affect the government’s plan to rehabilitate flooded provinces and to rebuild the country, Ms Yingluck said once the 2012 budget bill gets approval from parliament, the government will have a total budget of 120 billion baht to remedy all flood victims.
