Savannakhet is set to rehabilitate National Road No. 13 South from the Xe Bangfai Bridge, on the Savannakhet-Khammouane border, to Lak 35 village in Champhone district. This photo is used for representational purposed only.
A major 79-kilometer section of National Road No. 13 South is set for restoration after Savannakhet authorities on 13 November approved a new plan to study, design, and upgrade the deteriorated route.
The signing ceremony took place at the Savannakhet Provincial Hall, marking the formal start of work on the section that runs from the Xe Bangfai Bridge on the Savannakhet-Khammouane border to Lak 35 village in Champhone district.
Under the agreement, Chalernchai Construction Company will fully finance the feasibility study and design phase, requiring no government contribution.
The project will follow the Output and Performance Based Road Contracts model, which ties maintenance responsibilities and performance standards directly to the contractor.
National Road No. 13 South spans 157 kilometers across Savannakhet Province, linking Khammouane in the north with Salavan in the south. Within this broader corridor, the company will be responsible for repairing and upgrading the selected section, rehabilitating bridges, and improving related infrastructure.
Officials confirmed a three-year timeline for the study and construction, after which the contractor will handle maintenance for seven years.
Compensation will come through the Public Road Toll Collection system, with the government reimbursing the company over a 10-year period using toll payments collected from vehicles weighing more than 12 tons through the banking system.
This new restoration effort will link directly with the rehabilitation project launched on 4 November in Thakhek district, Khammouane Province, extending to Xe Bangfai district.
Once both projects connect, they will strengthen the transport corridor between Savannakhet and Khammouane, improving mobility and supporting economic development in the region.
New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – November 15, 2025 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Nidec Corporation (OTC: NJDCY) resulting from allegations that Nidec Corporation may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Nidec Corporation securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On September 3, 2025, after market close, CNBC published an article entitled “Nidec shares plunge 22% as China unit probe finds accounting issues tied to management.” The article further stated that shares of Nidec fell “after the company announced a probe into allegations of improper accounting in its group. This marks the largest one-day drop in the Japanese electronics components manufacturer’s shares.”
On this news, Nidec American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) fell 22.7% on September 4, 2025.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. At the time Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

By Watsamon TRI-YASAKDA/AFP – For three months, Thai retiree Somkid Kijniyom has been sleeping in a small boat surviving on dry food handouts in the waist-high floodwaters that have filled his home.
Relentless rains have plunged Thailand’s Ayutthaya province, home to a UNESCO-listed ancient city, into what residents say is its worst flooding in years.
Murky waters have turned residential areas into vast, dangerous canals, reaching depths of up to three metres (10 feet) and creeping up the ancient capital’s iconic temple ruins and gilded shrines.
“I have to endure life. I don’t know what to do,” said Somkid, who eventually constructed a high platform on top of tables to create a safe, dry sleeping area instead of the boat.
But he said the situation was “inconvenient”, enduring unusable toilets, subsisting on food donations and navigating dangerous currents in his boat.
“I hope the water will subside soon,” he said.
The rainy season’s floods affected over 60,000 of the province’s households and killed 18 people this year, Ayutthaya’s Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office said Friday.
It said that 38 temples in the area were also affected.
Vichai Asa-nok, who had to move out of his flooded home to a temple-run shelter, said the waters “came fast, very fast”.
“The situation has become very difficult,” he told AFP, with the flooding more extensive and lasting longer than in previous years.
Residents claimed the unusual duration, almost four months, and severity were largely due to mismanagement.
Community leader Boonchob Thongseejud said that authorities failed to release water into nearby fields, effectively rendering villages a “rest stop for water” before it gushes south down the Chao Phraya river to Bangkok and into the Gulf of Thailand.
He said water levels had surpassed those seen in a 2011 crisis by approximately 40 centimetres.
While the government has offered THB 9,000 (USD 280) in aid per household affected, some residents felt it was not enough.
Vichai said the sum is barely enough to purchase basic materials such as plywood to elevate homes, let alone the up to THB 3,000 (about USD 100) for cleanup.
