Bangkok Council on Thursday unanimously approved a budget of 79.71 billion baht for the coming 2023 fiscal year, starting Oct 1, as City Hall plans to use most of the money to ease the city's most nagging problems including flooding and traffic congestion.
The Office of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will receive 466.45 million baht in the new fiscal year, up from 222.31 million baht this year, said an informed source.
