PE shall last for 60 days
Thai authorities confirmed a state of public emergency in the capital, Bangkok and surrounding provinces to deal with the unrest. The decree will take effect on Wednesday, January 22 as reported by BBC News.
Establishment of the National Assembly gives broad powers to the government to deal with troublemakers. Now anti-government demonstrators are blocking the areas of the capital to make the current Prime Minister Yinhlak Chynnavat to resign. Shinawatra refused to resign and re-appointed elections on 2 February to calm down the protesters.
