The clearing operation will be carried out by the Command Centre for Monitoring Situations while the royal crematorium will be built by the Fine Arts Department. Centre members from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) had assessed that more people would come to pay respects to the late monarch during the New Year festival period, so it recommended that the clearing should be done after then, he said. The quota for people paying their respects in front of the Royal Urn under individual province arrangements would be maintained at 3,000 a day, said Anupong. He urge those travelling from upcountry on their own to contact the centre for queuing arrangements to ensure they could pay their respects without having to find a place to stay overnight.
