Suchart vows to close toxic waste plants in Prachin Buri
Today 13:42Key points summarised by AI
Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchart Chomklin launched a full-scale crackdown on toxic waste processing plants in Prachin Buri, promising severe legal action and asset seizures.
The urgent action stems from a recent incident in Sri Maha Phot district where a factory's embankment collapsed, releasing hazardous chemical runoff and endangering local residents.
The government, led by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, is considering permanent permit revocations for repeat offenders and rejecting any personal appeals from factory owners seeking leniency.
The Ministry is collaborating with the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to investigate land encroachment and confiscate assets from offending networks.
