According to police, the attacker was a former police officer who was dismissed last year for drug charges. In the hours before the shooting, police said, he had been appearing in court on a drug charge.

A district police official said the gunman reportedly wielded a knife during the attack on Uthai Sawan, 500 kilometers northeast of Bangkok in Nong Bua Lamphu province.

In the early afternoon, the shooter entered the childcare center and shot four or five officials there, a district official, Jidapa Boonsom, said. Among them was a pregnant teacher.

Just a few weeks ago, an officer shot two colleagues at a Bangkok army base.

The neem seeds were gifted to Thailand by India through the Indian Council for Agricultural Research as a gesture of goodwill and as part of regular socio-cultural heritage exchanges between the two countries. Both the Embassies in the respective countries coordinated the transport of the neem seeds from India to Thailand last year, and thereafter the neem seeds were handed over to an expert facility in Thailand where they were grown into saplings for plantation purposes.

Neem or Azadirachta indica has a special significance and a place of pride in Ayurveda and Indian traditional medicine. Ayurvedic texts in Sanskrit describes neem as ‘sarva roga nivarini’ or the universal healer of all ailments, ‘Arishtha’ or perfect, complete and imperishable, and ‘Nimba’ which means ‘to give good health’.

The gifting of neem seeds to Thailand and the saplings plantation ceremony at Trang coincides with the celebration of the 75th anniversary of establishment of India-Thailand diplomatic relations.
