Speaking to provincial governors and authorities of concerned agencies nationwide at a video conference from Bangkok Thursday morning, Yingluck thanked the Ministry of Interior and relevant agencies, including provincial disaster prevention and mitigation offices and the government-appointed Water and Flood Management Committee (WFMC), for working in unity as a single command unit satisfactorily, which has helped solve flooding in the affected areas much more quickly and better than last year.
