Lieutenant General Adul Bunthamcharoen, Minister of Defence, visited Rom Klao community in Lat Krabang district and Floraville village in Nong Chok district for a third consecutive day as flood conditions began to ease, ordering an accelerated cleanup of garbage and flood-damaged items to restore the areas. At Rom Klao community, heavy machinery has been mobilised to haul away debris and leftover waste, with a target of clearing the area within two days. At Floraville village in Nong Chok district, water levels have begun to trend downward thanks to accelerated drainage measures, although some spots remain flooded. Relevant agencies are preparing to add more water pumps and support equipment to speed drainage out of the area and ease the hardship of more than 1,800 households. The Defence Ministry confirmed it will integrate its work closely with Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and related agencies, and will keep monitoring rain and risk factors to prevent repeated flood impacts in at-risk areas.
