Din Daeng district office director Panchapat Lakdee said district officials demolished the market to increase space for motorists in the middle of Soi Pracha Songkroah 38 off Pracha Songkroah Road. The firm transferred ownership of the soi to the BMA which surveyed it and ordered the stalls’ demolition following complaints from motorists. Following the 2014 coup, the BMA called for the demolition of the market but the vendors filed a complaint with the Central Administrative Court. Panchaphat said the district office put up a sign to inform the vendors to move over a month ago. She said the demolition was completed on Tuesday and work would start this week to relay the road surface.
