TEHRAN, June 21 - Thai authorities, who began a series of raids last month on factories accused of illegally importing and processing electronic waste, say they may use special powers given to the military government to impose a total ban on the import of such potentially toxic materials.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Gen. Surasak Karnjanarat said Thursday that he will lead an effort to amend the law to include such a ban. He said if that proves impossible, the prime minister could invoke special powers he was given after the army seized power in 2014 to institute a ban.
Police on Thursday raided two factories on the outskirts of Bangkok accused of illegally processing electronic waste, and said they would be closed.
