Civic groups in Songkhla are urging residents of this southern province to join forces with them and the local fine arts office to protect an archaeological site from intrusion.
The movement began on Thursday, following a decision by the 11th Regional Office of the Fine Arts Department to lodge a complaint with police over logging, digging and road construction without permission at Khao Daeng, a 2,460-rai (394 hectare) mountain listed as a historic site in Singha Nakhon district.
