The sluice gate at Chamkar Te Dam in Kampong Speu province’s Kirirom mountains, which holds 5 million cubic metres of water, has collapsed due to heavy rains. Kampong Speu provincial governor Vei Samnang  on his Facebook page yesterday appealed to residents living in the area below the dam, including four communes of Chambok, Taing Sya, Taing Samrong, and Moha Saing of Phnom Sruoch district and Taing Krouch commune of Samrong Tong district, as well as along the Prek Tnaot bridge to stay alert and be ready to evacuate.

 

Samnang also urged the residents to proactively relocate to safe ground as the river had quickly escalated to flood levels in Chbar Morn city, and that the floodwaters were expected to reach more populated areas within hours.

 

 

“Please inform parents, aunts and uncles, because  the flood will flow to the villages of Rolong, Prey Sleuk, Kaheng, Kab Touk, Phnom Dey, Thmei village, Kravien, Prey Beng, Tang Kroch, and Sampov,” he said. “Hurry to move your necessary belongings to a safe place as well as help each other to check on the elderly and children.”
