OFFICIALS in Kampong Thom province’s Kraya commune say they will decide this month whether to grant plots of farmland to villagers evicted from their land in December, but affected families remain concerned they will not be able to plant crops ahead of this year’s wet season.
The evicted villagers – many of them military veterans – have been shifted to a relocation site at Kraya’s Thmor Samleang village, where they have built homes, but are still awaiting replacement farmland promised by the authorities.
Kampong Thom Deputy Governor Out Sam On said there had been a delay in the granting of the land because officials were checking to see that prospective plots did not have other owners.
