Dam firm hasn’t made good on pledge: locals
Some 100 people from five villages in Oddar Meanchey’s Chongkal district, Cambodia protested over the weekend against a hydropower dam project built by Chinese firm Sinohydro, claiming they have yet to be compensated for their eventual displacement when the flood gates close in the next few weeks. The demonstrations took a pause on 29 May after officials from the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology promised to meet with protesters to find a solution on 30 May.
