New land titles not recognised: villagers
Ten families locked in a long-standing land dispute with the Pheapimex Group in Pursat provinces’s Krakor district said yesterday that the company was refusing to recognise titles recently granted to them and blocking them from the land.
“We 10 families have been given more than 30 hectares of land on which each family has more than three hectares, but the company has given only one hectare, and they said the land belongs to them,” said Kbal Trach commune villager Loeung Tho. … More than 500 families in the area received titles after land measuring, added Sothea, but a number of certificates had been withdrawn or only partially recognised. …
