The Forestry Department's Forest Resource Management Office 12 in Krabi province is surveying 63,000 rai of lands whose concessions have expired and several of which were reportedly sold to others.
Office director Boonsueb Samakrat and officials Tuesday inspected a 19,950-rai oil-palm plantation covering parts of Ao Luk and Plai Phraya districts after its concession to a private company had expired in 2000.
He said the team’s inspection of lands, whose concessions to 11 companies had expired, was part of the department director-general’s policy to use these lands for reallocation to landless people. The information would be checked with Krabi Agricultural Land Reform Office and Krabi Land Office for land-rights document issuance, so that landless people could be included in the reallocation, he added.
