Mr Runghom said he and his neighbours earlier lodged complaints with Khlong Ha police station and the Khlong Ha tambon administration organization. Authorities sent inspectors to check the site, but left without telling residents whether the chemicals were dangerous or not. No action has also been against the land owner-cum-scrap dealer, he said
Many residents fear the chemical containers will affect their livelihoods and pose a health hazard. During hot weather, locals said they often hear loud explosions coming from dump area, he said.
Neighbours again are calling on local agencies to seriously address this situation.
