Structures by Phnom Penh canal flattened
A collection of houses and other structures belonging to nine families living alongside a canal in the capital’s Russey Keo district was destroyed on 18 January by a large group of men sent by local authorities.
The Beung Salang villagers had been previously told to vacate a zone within 15-20 metres of the 3-kilometre-long Bak Touk canal to make way for a dredging project City Hall plans to undertake, district officials said.
