Phnom Penh Provides Help to 300 Cyclo Drivers

Phnom Penh: Two kilograms of Longan fruit, a box of noodles, two boxes of face masks and two bottles of alcohols have been provided by Phnom Penh Capital Administration to 300 cyclo drivers on Thursday. The aid was initiated by Phnom Penh Governor Khuong Sreng to help the drivers who have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. These drivers’ income normally relies on tourists.
