A group of activists against plans to set up an industrial estate in Chana district of Songkhla urged the government yesterday to call a forum to listen to dissenting views. On Wednesday, meanwhile, a rally was held in protest against Suphat Hasuwannakit -- director of Chana District Hospital -- who is a key opponent of the Chana industrial estate project, Mr Rakchat said. The police have accused him of being one of the key leaders of the protest movement against the Chana industrial estate project, which he denies. He said he is one of the people accused of being connected to the BRN simply because he is opposed to the Chana project. Chanathan Saengphum, deputy secretary-general of the SBPAC, insisted the Chana industrial estate project is aimed at creating jobs and improving security in the region.
