<p>On May 13, 2010, the Center for Resolution of the Emergency Situation has announced the measures to ‘increase the pressures against the red-shirt demonstrations’ and cut off all commuting routes around the demonstration area. This includes ceasing all public bus, boat, elevated rail (BTS), electricity, street lights, water, blocking all mobile phone signals in the area. At the evening of the same day, the Emergency Act was extended to 17 more provinces in the central, north and northeast of Thailand to control the area and block any support coming in from the provinces.</p>
