On August 10th, a Bangkok street sweeper's foot became lodged in a corroded drain cover while she was cutting grass on Pradit Manutham Road, near an Audi dealership. The cover gave way, and she plummeted into a deep, city drain. It took more than half an hour for traffic police and rescue workers to pull her from the waterlogged, dark space.
The worker, who works for the Wang Thonglang district office, arrived at Lat Phrao Hospital dazed, having ingested and inhaled water. Despite her injuries, she returned to work without being fully recovered and is currently undergoing physiotherapy for her injured leg. To no avail, she has not received any assistance from supervisors, section heads, assistant district directors, or district directors since the accident.
The injured worker expressed her gratitude to the community and requested authorities to take action, specifically targeting the Wang Thonglang district director and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's permanent secretary. The Wang Thonglang district office and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration have yet to comment on the complaint.
