A source said yesterday that Dhipavadee would ask the Cabinet to approve the budget at its meeting on Tuesday. Dhipavadee will head the conservation project.

The project is designed to honour His Majesty on the auspicious occasion of his 80th birthday later this year. As part of the project, the government will ask for His Majesty's permission that the government maintain and conserve the photos and video pictures. They will be kept as the country's heritage and can be used for research and educational purposes.

Under the project, a permanent, five-storey building will be constructed in the compound of the National Film Archive in Nakhon Pathom, where the collection will be kept.

Meanwhile, a source at Government House said the Office of the Prime Minister would ask the Cabinet to approve its draft regulation about national disaster warnings.

According to the draft, the National Disaster Warning Centre (NDWC) will be transferred from the Office of the Prime Minister's fold to the Meteorological Department.

The chairman of the NDWC board will be the permanent secretary of the Information and Communications Technology Ministry, which supervises the Meteorological Department.
