More than 700 pigs at a farm in Preah Vihear province’s Tbeng Meanchey district either drowned or broke loose when flash floods caused by the rapidly rising Stung Sen river inundated villages in Bramme commune.

Farm owner Nornn Vanny told The Post on Tuesday that following immediate action by local authorities, over 1,000 of the 3,600 pigs raised at the farm in Srepreang village had been evacuated to higher ground.“I had 3,600 pigs in total, but now I’ve lost more than 700 due to the flood. Each pig was at least 80kg so I’ve lost at least $100,000,” he said.

National Committee for Disaster Management spokesman Keo Vy said on Tuesday that since September 3, over 500km of dirt roads and 60km of national and provincial roads have sustained serious damage due to the rising Mekong River and recent heavy downpours. “However, damage assessment by the relevant institutions has not been concluded as some provinces have not submitted their report to the NCDM, while some other provinces have just been flooded,” he said.
