Map Ta Put designated pollution-control area

By The Nation

The Administrative Court in Rayong on Tuesday ruled in favour of the complaint by 11 communities in Map Ta Put, Rayong, who demanded the National Environment Committee designate Map Ta Put a pollution-control area.

Suthi Atchasai, a coordinator of the public network in the East, said that the court's ruling will cover the municipality area, Muang district and Ban Chang district.

"The court's order must be implemented within 60 days," he said. "This is the first step of success and the people's network would monitor the implementation of pollution measures and will ask related agencies to review the third-phase petrochemical expansion and consider if development projects in the areas would increase the pollution level."
