Ms. Pareena demands fresh survey, claiming she acquired the land honestly
1 Oct 05:37Key points summarised by AI
Embattled MP Ms. Pareena Kraikupt requests a second land survey for her poultry farm, asserting honest acquisition, despite an initial survey indicating encroachment on national forest reserves and Sor Por Kor land.
The Royal Forest Department's initial survey found 2.76 hectares of her 44.22-hectare plot encroached on national forest reserves, with the remaining bulk identified as Sor Por Kor land.
Officials are actively gathering evidence to support trespass charges against Ms. Pareena, affirming that legal standards for land encroachment will be applied equally to all individuals, including politicians.
