Jewish cemetery operator seeks extra week to relocate remains

Today 12:12Key points summarised by AI

Gan Chabad Co. Ltd., operator of 'Jewish Cemetery Thailand', requested an additional seven days beyond the September 16 deadline to relocate four sets of remains.
The relocation is necessary because the cemetery failed to meet legal and environmental requirements, leading to the non-renewal of its permit in 2023.
Specific violations include being less than 50 meters from a newly upgraded highway and less than 400 meters from a public water source, discrepancies not noted in its original 2021 permit application.
Authorities are overseeing the relocation of the remains of one British and three Israeli nationals to ensure strict compliance with all laws and regulations.
