For the UDD group, they are going to demand the prime minister to dissolve the House of Representatives on Sunday and if they do not meet the demand on Sunday, they will spread their anti- government rally to several state places in Bangkok on March 15.
But, Deputy Prime Minister in charge of security affairs Suthep Thaugsuban has vowed to break up the UDD rally if the protesters stage road blockage or intrude into government offices.
If any irregularity is found, the 1669 and 1646 call center is available to be reported, Public Health Minister Jurin suggests.
Meanwhile, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has supported other involved security agencies' operations, Thai News Agency reported.
The BMA has prepared ambulances and fire trucks at sensitive places in Bangkok, including eight fire trucks at the Government House.
Also, some six other fire trucks are available at the 11th Infantry Regiment in capital Bangkok, in which the peace-keeping operations command is established.
In a related development, the Department of Internal Trade (DIT) has prepared measures to prevent goods hoarding during the mass rally and asked all producers to continue regular distribution of goods.
