BANGKOK – Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon has instructed authorities nationwide to step up road safety and general law enforcement this month to help reduce the road toll and criminal activities over the New Year.

Defence Ministry spokesman Lt Gen. Kongcheep Tantravanich said on Friday that Gen Prawit, who is also Thailand’s defence minister, has called a meeting at the ministry to discuss these issues next Thursday.
