Government starts up pumps today in worst-hit communities

From Bangkok Post: The government will today start pumping floodwater out from housing estates in the three most heavily inundated areas of Bangkok and Nonthaburi.

The government is apparently meeting the demands of flood victims in the Don Muang and Rangsit areas of Bangkok and Nonthaburi province who have staged protests against the slow drainage of floodwater from their communities. The operation will begin today on the eastern part of Vibhavadi Rangsit and Phahon Yothin roads and the Ong-kharak area by pumping water to Khlong Rangsit, said Commerce Minister Kittiratt Na-Ranong after meeting with housing and real estate business representatives at Government House yesterday.

Bangkok governor smiles after receiving pumps from the Thai government

From The Nation: Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra said Sunday that he felt relieved and could smile now that the government has provided more water pumps to the city administration.

Sukhumbhand said 24 more pumps have been installed for draining water at the lower Khlong Hokwa Canal. Moreover, the Flood Relief Operations Centre will give more pumps to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration for draining water at the end of the drainage tunnel in Phrakhanong, Sukhumbhand said.

He thanked Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and FROC chief Justice Minister Pracha Promnok for providing the pumps to the BMA for draining the floodwaters faster.

Earlier the BBC News reported that floodwater is continuing to move through the Thai capital, after months of heavy monsoon rain.
