Preah Vihear Province: The Chhep District Administration of Preah Vihear Province has decided to take drastic measures by temporarily suspending the construction of an apartment building in Sen Chey Village, Chhep Commune, after a joint technical team found that the construction had seriously violated public road rights and was being carried out without a legal construction permit.
According to the official letter of the Chhep District Administration No. 154/26 L.C dated July 3, 2026, signed by Mr. Khit Sothea Ra, the Governor of Chhep District, it was learned that the owners of the above apartment construction site are Mr. Choob Chit and Ms. Ouch Sophy. The construction is located on plot number 333, Chhep Lekh village, Chhep commune, Chhep district, Preah Vihear province.
In the same letter, the district authorities highlighted that based on the results of a direct inspection by the technical team of the district administration and the Department of Land Management, Urban Planning, Construction and Cadastre of Preah Vihear province, technical errors were found And two major construction violations include:
1. Construction of a structure encroaching on a public road, with the eastern side of the structure encroaching on the road by about 4.50 meters and the western side encroaching on the road by about 4.15 meters.
2. Illegal construction The entire site is being built without a building permit (construction law) from the competent authority.
To ensure compliance with urban planning laws and public order, the Chhep District Authority has relied on key legal bases, including Sub-Decree No. 224 of the Royal Decree on Building Permits dated December 30, 2020 and relevant inter-ministerial proclamations, to issue an order ordering the construction owner to immediately suspend all construction activities from the date of issuance of this letter until a legal solution is found.
Meanwhile, the district administration also warned that in the event that the construction owners, Mr. Choob Chit and Ms. Ouch Sophy, do not follow the instructions or continue to stubbornly carry out construction activities, the district authorities will take strict legal measures in force without exception.
It should be noted that this letter of instruction has currently been sent to many relevant institutions, including the Preah Vihear Provincial Administration, the Provincial Department of Land Management, the Chhep District Police Inspectorate, and the Chhep Commune Administration, to cooperate and monitor the implementation of this measure effectively.
