December 07, 2013 17:18

Thailand authorities today began stepping up security around key state buildings after anti-government protesters vowed to make a final push to oust Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Monday.

Officials said hundreds of policemen will be deployed to protect key state buildings on December 9, which protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban has declared as the 'D-Day' to seize power from the prime minister.

Prime Minister Yingluck today said she sees no quick end to the political impasse and is willing to negotiate with protesters to end the crisis.

"Our door is still open," she said in an interview with foreign journalists.
