Comptroller General’s Department Awaits Official Notice on Bueng Nong Bon Drainage Tunnel

According to a report by Prachachat Business, the Comptroller General’s Department (CGD) has stated that it has not received an official letter from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) concerning the Bueng Nong Bon drainage tunnel project. Patricia Mongkhonvanit, Director-General of the CGD, confirmed that while the evaluation process for the project has concluded, the department is still awaiting formal communication from the city administration to proceed with the next steps.

For residents and travelers in Bangkok, this update highlights a procedural delay in the oversight of major infrastructure projects. The Bueng Nong Bon drainage tunnel is a significant initiative intended to mitigate flooding in the eastern parts of the city. Delays in administrative coordination can sometimes lead to uncertainty regarding project timelines and the overall management of urban flood prevention systems.

At this stage, it remains to be confirmed when the BMA will submit the necessary documentation to the CGD and what specific details the correspondence will contain. As the project is currently in a state of administrative transition, stakeholders are waiting for further clarification from the city authorities to understand how this will impact the ongoing development of the drainage infrastructure. The CGD has emphasized that they are ready to act once the official request is received.
