A labourer dismantles a home to make way for a road expansion in Russey Keo district’s Chroy Changvar commune. Residents said yesterday that City Hall officials had given 86 families living along a section of National Road 6 just two weeks to move and had not offered a satisfactory relocation site. Suong Sophan, a 35-year-old resident, said 60 of the families had rejected an offer of 2 million riels (US$476) and a 6-by-12-metre plot of land in Kandal province for each family, because the land lacked the proper infrastructure.
