  • Chiwapha Sansuwat orders a strict crackdown on cunning agricultural investors
  • Found illegally sub-leasing Kor-Tor-Cho land in Chiang Mai province
  • Over 20,000 rai of forest damaged, legal actions to be taken immediately

Chiwapha Sansuwat has announced a firm stance on taking decisive legal action to eradicate cunning investors who illegally sub-lease land allocated under the National Land Policy Committee, known as Kor-Tor-Cho, to third parties, violating government regulations and causing severe damage to forest resources in Chiang Mai.

In-depth investigations revealed that these capitalist groups exploited their land privileges for personal gain by renting out plots to other farmers instead of utilizing them for legitimate subsistence farming as intended by the state, leading to widespread environmental degradation across Chiang Mai.

This enforcement operation focuses on thoroughly auditing land use records and gathering solid evidence to prosecute all wrongdoers without exception, aiming to reclaim the encroached forest areas for ecological restoration.

The Kor-Tor-Cho framework was originally established to grant underprivileged citizens legal access to state land for agriculture. However, the illicit practice of transferring or sub-leasing these plots remains a persistent challenge in national land management, making rigorous law enforcement a crucial test for systemic forest conservation.
