Police in the capital’s Chamkarmon district on March 10 sent five suspects, including a police officer, to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court for destroying a motorcycle and threatening a man at gunpoint the previous day in Tonle Bassac commune.
A senior Phnom Penh municipal official said the disposal, sorting and collection of waste in the capital have improved thanks to competition between three companies to provide services – and the participation of residents.
