Thai police working out deployment plans for Oct 14 rally by protesters


BANGKOK, Oct 5 (The Nation/ANN) - Police are in the process of estimating the number of protesters expected to join the Democracy Restoration Group (DRG) rally on October 14, after the group issued an invitation to the public on social media to join the demonstration, Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Pol Lt-General Pakkapong Pongpetra said on Sunday.

“The bureau will deploy officials based on the length and number of participants at the rally. For example, if the rally lasts longer than a day and participants spend the night at the venue, more officials will be deployed to ensure peace and safety, ” he said. “Next week the bureau will hold a meeting with subdivisions to draw up a detailed plan.”
