Thai anti-government protestors said Wednesday they can continue the rally though the government will cut public facilities for them.
The "red-shirt" group has prepared generators, while water from fire trucks will be an alternative for the protestors, Thai News Agency quoted core leader Doctor Weng Tojirakan as saying.
His remarks were made after the government's Center for the Resolution of Emergency Situations (CRES) earlier announced cutting public facilities to the "red-shirts" at the rally site in central Bangkok.
The CRES will cut water, power supply, as well as water and land transportation in Rachaprasong intersection area, the "red-shirt" rally site, starting from midnight, CRES spokesman Col. Sansern Kaewkamnerd told a press conference.
Telephone signal will also be cut off, while buses, trains, and waterway services around the rally site will be blocked.
The CRES measure was announced after Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Tuesday evening the "red-shirts" should end their rally on Wednesday.
The "red-shirts" can not negotiate anymore, the Thai prime minister said, adding that it is legal for the government to control the anti-government rally in a bid to restore normalcy.
The "red-shirt" rally held out since March 12 and totally 27 people lost their lives and some 1,427 were wounded during the four major clashes between the protestors and security forces, including the April 10's ones.
