The "seven dangerous days" campaign to reduce road accidents during the Songkran festival was officially launched on Wednesday, albeit without the usual fanfare and widespread publicity befitting the first fully-fledged Songkran in three years after the pandemic-induced hiatus.
As usual, a command centre was set up at the Ministry of Interior, with the Department of Public Disaster Prevention and Mitigation playing the key role in coordinating with local officials across the country to crack down on speeding and drunk driving.
