Khek Noi Residents Plan Protest Over Land Lease Project

According to a report by Matichon Online, residents of Khek Noi have scheduled a gathering for August 4 to voice their opposition against a project proposed by the local Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO). The project involves leasing 255 rai of state-owned land for the purpose of road development.

Local community members have expressed significant concerns regarding the initiative, primarily citing a lack of public consultation. The protesters argue that the SAO has not yet conducted a formal public hearing or 'prachakhom' to gather community input or address the potential impacts of the land development project on the local area.

For residents and travelers in the Khek Noi region, this situation may lead to localized disruptions or increased activity in the vicinity of the protest site on August 4. While the gathering is intended to challenge the administrative process, those planning to travel through the area should remain aware of potential traffic delays or crowds.

At this stage, it remains to be confirmed how the local government will respond to the residents' demands and whether the planned road development will proceed as scheduled. There is currently no information regarding potential changes to the project timeline or whether a public hearing will be rescheduled to address the community's grievances.
