Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra on Saturday led workers from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and volunteers from all walks of life to clean up the Lat Phrao 5-way intersection and nearby zones after floodwaters receded.
The Big Cleaning Day activity started at Kamphaeng Phet intersection on Phaholyothin Road through to Lat Phrao 5-way intersection and Ratchayothin intersection.
Twenty five trucks containing water and 1,000 cleaning kits were provided for cleaning up areas on Phaholyothin Roads which had previously been affected by flood.
Saturday’s cleaning activity, jointly held by the BMA’s Chatuchak district office, the 1st Army Area, the Royal Thai Police and the private sector, was the first cleaning activity since floodwaters receded.
The governor, who presided over the Big Cleaning Day activity, thanked all related parties and volunteers for joining the event. He also said that city hall will organise cleaning activities in other flood-affected areas, expecting to complete the clean-up before Dec 31 as a New Year gift for Bangkok residents.
Meanwhile, the BMA is scheduled to hold Big Cleaning Day activities this Sunday on Charansanitwong Road, starting from Yanhee Hospital to Bang Phlat intersection.
