Following multiple protests by local villagers, the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation has announced a halt to a railway project meant to lead to Phnom Penh International Airport. Villagers of Por Sen Chey district’s Ka Kab commune have been protesting against the railway construction in their community over the past few weeks, burning tyres during some protests.

 

 

The villagers are fearful of evictions and upset that the government has not been more forthcoming about the project, which is being carried out by Royal Railways along street 105K and is meant to make ferrying goods to the airport easier. The ministry announced a halt to the construction following a meeting with villagers on Friday.

 

Undersecretary of state Ly Borin told residents that the construction of the railway from Taing Krosang Pagoda to the airport will not resume unless there is an agreement between locals and stakeholders. “We will have a meeting to resolve this issue and see you again,” he told locals. “For the construction, we have already asked the company to halt it so that we can find a solution that suits the ministry, the builders and the villagers.”
