Preah Sihanouk provincial residents have complained to Royal Crown International (RCI) garment factory about pollution drained into the sea, according to a report on Monday.
A local resident complained that “Every night, RCI drains the water pollution into the sea; it is a serious to affect to the environment in the whole province.”
The resident told DAP News Cambodia that “Since many years ago, this garment factory always did like this, no authorities or other institutions to crack down on them.”
The RCI is in the No. 1 commune of Preah Sihanouk province.
The residents alleged that the factory did treat chemicals before discharging them, polluting seawater and beaches.
A No. 1 commune official told DAP News Cambodia that he reported the issue to his seniors to little effect.
DAP tried to contact to RCI management, but a security guard claimed that no-one was available.
Local administrative officers did not reply to DAP’s phone calls. Preah Sihanouk Provincial Director of Depart- ment of Environment Hem Saroeun “I called for 10 times, but he did not reply,” he added.
Environmental pollution and degradation is an increasing problem in Cambodia.
