Provincial Officials to Mark Borders Clearly
by Thet Sambath
Battambang and Banteay Meanchey provincial authorities agreed Saturday to
clearly demarcate the border between the two provinces to prevent land
disputes, Prach Chan, the governor of Battambang, said Tuesday.
The border runs through Banteay Meanchey's Malai district and
Battambang's Sampov Loun district, a heavily forested area that has been
subject to land grabbing.
....


So, another case of illegal loggers, farmers and landgrabbers taking
advantage of unclear jurisdictions.
