Thailand Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul inspected the water leakage on-site in the tunnel of the Mor Hat (South Purple Line) subway under construction in the capital Bangkok. The incident occurred in the underground water retention basin at the construction site following heavy rains. Arriving in the area late at night, the Prime Minister received a briefing from officials and closely monitored the situation on-site regarding both engineering and preventive measures. The presence of the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of Transport, and other relevant ministers in the field highlighted the government's sensitivity in following the incident.
The Prime Minister announced that the incident was handled in line with the lessons learned from the previous tunnel accident in front of Vajira Hospital, which caused a severe collapse. Stating that the leakage was detected at an early stage and the situation was completely under control, the Prime Minister noted that the rise in water level had been prevented. Relevant teams are exerting intense efforts to quickly seal the leakage to prevent a potential structural collapse. In the area experiencing a difficult-to-resolve technical crisis, additional security measures, such as installing sensors to monitor building movements, were immediately activated.
In response to questions about the reason for the emergency visit to the area in the early hours of the morning local time, the Prime Minister answered that the safety of people's lives and property is the top priority. Emphasizing that the past accident in front of the hospital was a bitter lesson, the Prime Minister stated that early warning and intervention systems must be kept ready to prevent this incident from recurring. In meetings with both the governorate, Metro Rail System (MRTA) officials, and engineers, it was confirmed that the current situation is controllable. The Prime Minister informed the public that all teams are mobilized to solve the problem and return the area to normal life.
Inspecting the situation on-site, the Prime Minister stated that there is currently no danger requiring road closures and that traffic flow is uninterrupted. While it was stated that there is certainty regarding the absence of a major collapse risk in the tunnel structure, it was emphasized that the teams are on alert against possible scenarios. The inspection activities are not expected to take long, and water drainage operations in the area are being carried out as planned. Government officials once again reminded how vital safety standards are in such infrastructure projects.
Upon humorous questions from the press regarding the sudden influx of numerous ministers to the area, the Prime Minister expressed that in such emergencies, all administrators act with a sense of responsibility. The Prime Minister noted that officials came to the scene without notifying the press in advance, merely to do their duty. This incident has once again brought to the table the risks arising from the intertwining of Bangkok's massive infrastructure projects with the heavy urban traffic and population. Discussions continue on the need to minimize engineering errors and carefully calculate environmental factors in the city's subway expansion works.
