Fisheries Dept neglected duty to prevent spread of blackchin tilapia: Court
Yesterday 19:55Key points summarised by AI
The Central Administrative Court ruled the Fisheries Department neglected its duty to monitor blackchin tilapia imports for research and prevent the invasive species' spread.
The court mandated the department continue control and eradication measures and urged the Interior Ministry to declare affected areas as "emergency disaster assistance zones" for residents.
The ruling highlighted the department's failure to monitor a 2010 import license for research, violating its duties under relevant fisheries acts.
Additionally, the Samut Songkhram governor was cited for neglecting duty by not declaring affected districts as emergency assistance zones, impacting aid to residents.
Uthenthawai, Pathumwan ordered to suspend classes for three months after BTS clash
Today 18:28Key points summarised by AI
Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-Ok's Uthenthawai campus and Pathumwan Institute of Technology have suspended on-site classes for three months following a violent clash between their students at Siam BTS station, where two were stabbed.
The suspension was agreed upon at a meeting chaired by Higher Education Minister Yodchanan Wongsawat, aiming to prevent further violence between the long-time rival institutions and improve safety in the vital commercial and tourist district.
The decision also addresses a long-standing land dispute, with Chulalongkorn University set to reclaim the Uthenthawai site for an innovation area, not commercial use, following a 2022 Supreme Administrative Court order for Uthenthawai to vacate.
A new committee will oversee the area's development, incorporating all involved institutions, while police will maintain strict security to counter the negative impact of student violence on the area's image and tourism.
