The new Thai parliament building announced on Monday (August 5) that it will raise security level with surveillance camera installation and riot police reinforcement at the first parliamentary session at the new complex in Kiak Kai area in Bangkok scheduled for August 7.
The
new building has been relocated from the old temporary venue at the TOT
headquarter (government building and office) at Chaengwattana Road.
CCTV cameras will be
installed at the entrance of the building to record the registration plates of
all vehicles, entering the premises.
The Bangkok Metropolitan
Administration's CCTV cameras surrounding the complex will be checked to ensure
they are fully functional.
House Speaker Chuan Leekpai
also checked the readiness of the meeting hall and the control room.
The security measures at the
new parliament House came to light after a spate of bombs blew off at several
government buildings late last week in Bangkok, triggering a hunt on the
perpetrators.
