BANGKOK: Clean-up work is under way at four industrial estates in Thailand’s central Ayutthaya province as water has receded after devastating floods last month, and some factories are already back at work, officials said on Monday.
Tawee Narissirikul, deputy governor of Ayutthaya province and head of its industrial rehabilitation committee, said good progress had been made in restoring industrial zones including Rojana Industrial Park, Hi-Tech, Bang Pa-In and Factory Land.
”Twelve companies in the estate are back in business and clean-up work is under way for the remaining plants,” he added.
The water level at Bang Pa-In industrial estate — where hard drive maker Western Digital has two manufacturing facilities — has fallen to 70 cms from a peak of 1.80 metres after authorities started draining it out on November 8. (UNI)
