A resident questioned the availability of emergency funds.

“Is there no budget for such urgent issues? Can’t you help the residents? It’s been six months since the complaint, why is it still silent?”

Hazardous conditions

The road in question, which runs through Worakit Market and Wat Pak Nam, has deteriorated significantly.

“The road has sunk to a depth that can submerge a person. We’ve reported it multiple times, but there has been no response. What are you waiting for? Do you want people to fall and break their necks?”

The video also showed the condition of the road, which has sunk so deeply that it is now underwater, making it hazardous for residents.

“We’ve reported this issue many times, and it has been posted on the page numerous times. Why is there still no action? Is it not important enough? Do we have to wait for someone to die before something is done?”

The residents have expressed their willingness to escalate their complaints if necessary. They have mentioned the possibility of bowing down to local officials to get their attention.

“We are ready to bow if it will make a difference. This road is crucial as it leads to the market and temple. The pipes are already broken, and the situation is worsening.”

The lack of response from the local officials has left the residents feeling neglected and desperate.

“The road has sunk into the ground, and the damage has extended to the foundations of nearby houses. We need help urgently. How many more times do we have to report this before something is done?”

The residents of Mittraphap Soi 5 are calling for immediate action to repair the road and water pipes to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of the community, reported KhaoSod.
