At 10:55 a.m. on July 22, 2569, at Nong Nooch Garden in Chon Buri Province, Prime Minister Anusit Chanyaveerakul, who also serves as Minister of Interior, addressed cases of citizens who died while traveling to verify their identity and scan their face for state welfare benefits in Naan Province, as well as two fatalities from traffic accidents in Phetchabun Province following welfare card procedures. He stated that the Interior Ministry would provide comprehensive service, explaining that at yesterday's cabinet meeting he emphasized the need for officials to move into communities and locate citizens with unresolved welfare card issues rather than waiting for people to appeal. The PM ordered provincial governors to conduct surveys and update vehicle database records, and instructed a review of state welfare card criteria to be presented to cabinet next week, with an extension of the appeal period.
