PM in urgent meeting with Army and Police chiefs

BANGKOK (The Nation): Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej on Wednesday summoned Army chief General Anupong Paochinda and national police chief General Patcharawat Wongsuwant for an urgent meeting at his office.

Sources said Samak ordered the two to beef up security at Government House in light of the threat by the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) to march to the seat of government on Friday.

Patcharawat said he needed to consult with Anupong in order to brace for the PAD-led protest. He said authorities had no plans for a crack down and that police will not allow the PAD to pass Makawan Rangsan Bridge to Government House.
