Floods enter Samsen area
Sand bag barriers along the Khiew Khai Ka pier at Bang Kra-bue intersection had collapsed causing a large amount of water from the Chao Phraya River to enter the city.
Military officers have begun to contain the situation by building sand bag barriers around the affected areas and cut out the electricity in certain areas in order to prevent accidents. Furthermore, motorists are urged to avoid using Samsen Road as both inbound and outbound lanes are flooded.
Officials from the Dusit District Office stated that military personnel and related authorities had successfully contained the situation with the help from local volunteers in plugging the leakage with more sand bags. Flood water on Samsen road is now receding. As for preventive measures in the long run, the district office will see to it that the breached floodwall at the fence of Rajini Bon School will be repaired properly.
