Prachinburi EEC Conflict*: Voices against the expansion of the EEC and the environmental crisis invade the community.
The provided sources document a growing conflict over plans to expand the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) industrial zone into Prachinburi Province. While government officials promote the expansion as a driver for economic growth, local activists under the "Strong Prachinburi Network" have launched intense protests and hunger strikes at Government House.
These residents express deep distrust in state environmental oversight, citing existing issues with industrial waste dumping, toxic pollution, and the potential displacement of organic farming. Tensions escalated further following allegations that an EEC official insulted protesters on social media, intensifying demands for a formal, written cancellation of the project.
Critics argue that the expansion prioritizes industrial interests over local health and resource security, particularly regarding water scarcity in agricultural communities.
