On June 1, Fine Arts Department chief Prateep Pengtako said his agency had nothing to do with the EIA reports. The Fine Arts Department is expected to be more proactive in matters relating to conservation. As the campaign went on, the Fine Arts Department was timid and shied away from any effort, saying it was none of its business. This mission went on without support from the Fine Arts Department. Some local groups are wealthy enough to take care of heritage but support or cooperation from the Fine Arts Department would be helpful.
