The prime minister wanted the provincial administrations to hand out ready-meals like roasted chickens and steamed sticky rice to the stranded people immediately as they wait to be gradually evacuated to safe places, the spokesman said. The PM wants the food to be rushed on flat-bottom boats, the spokesman said. Provincial administrations of flood-prone areas were told to monitor the situation and issue warning and help the people in time to minimise their losses, Sansern said.
