Bangkok's Government House fully reopened

BANGKOK, June 2 (TNA) - Bangkok's Government House has been fully re-opened, after a seven-month seizure by demonstrators. Officials arrived at the Government House to work as usual on Monday morning, following a big clean-up at the government seat last Saturday. Meanwhile, workers of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and soldiers helped clean up the vicinity of the Victory Monument, including traffic islands on Phaya Thai, Ratchawithi, Phahon Yothin and Din Daeng Roads, where plenty of garbage was left during anti-coup demonstrations over the past week. City clerk Ninnart Chalitanon inspected the clean-up and extended her morale support to the BMA workers and three companies of soldiers from the Adisorn Camp in the central Saraburi Province. No property was damaged there. Soldiers will organize an event to entertain people near the Victory Monument on June 3, from 4pm to 7pm. Ninnart, however, expressed her concerns over ongoing anti-coup demonstrations in the capital, where police and soldiers have been deployed to ensure order, urging people to cooperate with attempts to restore national peace and order and wait for the police and the military to jointly do the peace restoration job.
