16,270 marijuana plants and 84 irrigation wells destroyed in Chroy Village, Kirivong

Part of Cambodia eradication campaigns (2018)

About 70 coalition forces conducted a crackdown on 69 locations in Chroy Village, Preah Bat Choantok commune, destroying 16,270 marijuana plants and 84 irrigation wells over 5,075 square metres. Deputy police chief Yang Dara noted plants at various growth stages — some newly planted, some already flowering. "The mountainous terrain makes it hard for the police to crack down. People continue to plant and dig irrigation wells."
