More than 200 hectares of Sor Por Kor certificates in Korat province to be revoked

15 Sept 01:47 Key points summarised by AI

The Agricultural Land Reform Office (ALRO) ordered the revocation of Sor Por Kor 4-01 land certificates for 13 plots, totaling 54.56 hectares, in Nakhon Ratchasima province.
This revocation was prompted by the discovery that the plots were still forested, not 'degraded' land eligible for land reform allocation.
ALRO also canceled the planned allocation of an additional 45 plots, covering 149.92 hectares, to 26 individuals, ensuring this land is not included in the reform program.
The office affirmed continued support for genuine impoverished farmers while warning that officials involved in allocation irregularities will face legal action.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
