Unsafe Sihanoukville buildings set for demolition

[geovalin]

Preah Sihanouk province – Governor Kuoch Chamroeun has approved demolition orders for two recently-constructed buildings in Sihanoukville after they were deemed unsafe by officials.

 

On Monday, Mr Chamroeun held a meeting with all parties involved, including the building and land owners, to discuss the decision to have the buildings in Buon and Pi communes demolished. Provincial Hall spokesman Kheang Phearom yesterday said Mr Chamroeun, who was recently appointed, is aiming to take a stronger stance against poorly constructed buildings than his predecessor.

 

“We are not reluctant to enforce measures […] the buildings must be immediately demolished,” Mr Phearom said. “The governor has already instructed the owners of the buildings and the lands to demolish the buildings themselves.” Mr Chamroeun was appointed after former Governor Yun Min resigned following the collapse of a building in Sihanoukville that killed 28 construction workers in June.
