Evacuation plan for downtown Ratchaburi during disposal of WWII bombs

27 Sept 07:31 Key points summarised by AI

Ratchaburi province initiates an evacuation plan for residents within a two-kilometer "danger zone" to safely dispose of seven 1,000-pound WWII bombs discovered in the Ratchaburi River.
The bombs were found during the construction of the Nakhon Pathom-Chumporn railway, necessitating the declaration of a danger zone due to the threat posed to residential areas, markets, temples, and schools.
Bomb disposal teams from the three armed forces, collaborating with German experts, will destroy the underwater ordnance in its current location, likely employing powerful water jets, rather than attempting to bring them ashore.
The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has revised the design of the new railway bridge over the Ratchaburi River, opting for a suspension bridge that is expected to become a new landmark for the province.
