Prime minister Hun Sen issued an order to end the pumping and dredging of sand from the bottom of the Mekong River, following a riverbank collapse yesterday in Koh Norea village, Niroth commune, Meanchey district, Phnom Penh city.
Hun Sen issued his order in a declaration that was broadcasted by local news media, yesterday evening.
The order not only put an end to the pumping in the Mekong River which caused the riverbank collapse, but this order is also applicable to the entire country as well.
During yesterday’s riverbank collapse, about 200 villagers started to panic, and they immediately started to dismantle their homes in the middle of the night.
