Deputy Interior Minister Tavorn Senniem said Tuesday that the government is working out the final technical details of a comprehensive legislation that will consolidated existing agencies under a civilian-led administrative body to tackle the problem in the Muslim-majority deep south.

Tavorn said Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is sounding out various security and civilian agencies assigned to the restive region as the government puts together this draft law.

At the moment it has yet to be decided if the new agency will come directly under the prime minister or under the interior ministry, Tavorn said.

To give weight to the new agency, a council of ministers will oversees this administrative body, Tavorn said.
