Nong Sai Police Station Offers Free Rice Drying Space to Farmers
To prevent road accidents and theft, the Nong Sai Police Station in Buriram is allowing local farmers to dry their rice harvest on the station's premises.
According to a report by Thai Post, the Nong Sai Police Station in Nang Rong District, Buriram Province, has opened its concrete courtyard to local farmers for drying rice. This initiative aims to address the safety risks associated with farmers drying their harvests on public roads, which can lead to traffic accidents and vehicle collisions. Furthermore, the police are concerned about the potential for theft of the drying crops. By providing a secure, designated area, the authorities hope to mitigate these hazards. Officers are actively assisting farmers by helping to spread and collect the rice, while also maintaining 24-hour surveillance to ensure the security of the harvest. For residents and travelers in the area, this initiative highlights a proactive approach by local law enforcement to manage seasonal agricultural activities safely. While the station has guaranteed security for the duration of the drying process, those traveling through the vicinity should remain cautious of agricultural machinery or increased activity near the station premises. It remains to be confirmed how long this service will be available and if other stations in the region will adopt similar measures to support local farmers during the harvest season.
