The spokesperson for the Kampong Thom Provincial Police Commissariat responded on February 24 to criticism on social media about traffic checks on a rural dirt road in Santuk district. The spokesperson confirmed that checks had taken place but said no fines were imposed on motorists.
The spokesperson said officers had only provided education, and that the leadership had no policy of conducting such enforcement on dirt roads. The provincial police commissioner had instructed officers to conduct traffic enforcement checks on paved roads and national roads.
