Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered Land Minister HE Chea Sopara to start preparing another new development area in Peak Snaeng commune on top of the newly Run Ta Ek zone for the people relocating from Angkor Park.

Talking on 6 October, PM Hun Sen emphasized that the new Peak Snaeng development area will have all the necessary infrastructure as in Run Ta Ek.

“Now that there are only 200 plots of land left in Run Ta Ek, I told HE Chea Sophara to keep it as a reserve and start preparing land in another area in Paek Sneang,” said PM Hun Sen.

“This place must have roads, water, electricity, schools, hospitals, and other necessary infrastructure for living and working,” he added.

According to the government’s plan, the Run Ta Ek area will be turned into a new potential city with all the necessary infrastructure provided to ease the lives and careers of over 6,000 families.

If the city of Run Ta Ek is successful, it will be a model for solving the problem of disorganized housing across the country, a sustainable and effective development. The city of Run Ta Ek, which covers an area of more than 1,300 hectares in the Banteay Srei district, will be a new home for more than 6,000 families living who moved from the unorganized housing along the Siem Reap River and some other areas in the Apsara protected zones.

According to the plan, the area will have a 140km concrete road, a US$3-million water treatment plant, a drainage system, a water system, hospitals, and schools, among others. (Read more)
