A government delegation led by Lim Kean Hor, the minister of water resources and meteorology, and general Sao Sokha, the military police chief, undertook an operation to demolish hundred of housing constructions located within the Long Chhin Resorts, in the morning of 31 July 2007. The Long Chhin Resorts is located in Prek Phnov village, Prek Phnov commune, Pohnea Loeu district, Kandal province, occupying an area of 60-hectare extending directly on top of Boeng Kob Srov Lake. During the demolition operation, several hundreds of police and military police officers can be seen, as well as about 50 mechanical equipments, and about 100 workers. Lim Kean Hor said that the demolition of the Long Chhin Resorts was done through an order issued by Hun Sen and the operation will start from 31 July until everything returns back to its original condition. The demolition of the buildings was done because the Long Chhin Company filled in the Kob Srov Lake for building by grabbing the lake which belongs to the state. Lim Kean Hor said that the flooding from the Mekong River could be significant if companies are allowed to fill in the lake in this manner, and that Phnom Penh city could face dire (flooding) consequences.
