The Nation September 25, 2014 1:00 am
A TEAM of Army, police and forestry officials have torn down 59 structures on 48-rai of encroached land in Phu Chong Nayoi National Park in Ubon Ratchathani's Na Chaluay district.
They have also planted 59,600 Siamese Rosewood trees on 2,048 rai as part of a reforestation effort, deputy governor Khanchat Tansathien said yesterday.
Presiding over yesterday's launch of the campaign to reclaim forestland and crack down on illegal loggers of Siamese Rosewood and other valuable trees under the Protected Area Regional Office 9 supervision, Khanchat said the operation was part of the National Council for Peace and Order's policy. He said Ubon Ratchathani was among the nine provinces where encroachment and illegal logging were at a critical level.
In related news, Agricultural Land Reform Office inspector Patcharat Maneewong yesterday joined the Army to inspect the land near the Chong Jom Border Market in Surin's Kap Choeng district, following allegations that the "Sor Por Kor 401" land, intended for farmers, was being sold and misused.
The authorities will complete its investigation in 60 days and punish the wrongdoers, she said.
Initial investigation found that 100-rai of the land, divided into 19 plots, had changed hands and some of it had been used to build houses, Patcharat said.
Land reform in Surin
Accordingly, she has instructed Surin land-reform officials to check on the 300 farmers who were originally entitled to use the land and take back the misused land. She said the occupants have 60 days to explain themselves.
Winita Dee-ngam said she had inherited a 3-rai plot from her father and had built an apartment building on it to support the area's economic growth and was using the rest of the land for farming. She called on land-reform officials to clearly explain land-usage laws and called on them to empathise with her needs.
