Prachin Buri Deputy Governor Orders Investigation into Disputed Land Title
Authorities in Prachin Buri have launched an inquiry into a controversial land title claim that resulted in residents being ordered to vacate their homes.
The Deputy Governor of Prachin Buri province has officially ordered the establishment of a committee to investigate a contentious land title dispute. This administrative action follows reports that a private company has asserted ownership rights over land currently occupied by local residents, subsequently issuing a demand for those residents to demolish their homes and vacate the premises within a 15-day period. According to Matichon Online, the provincial government is intervening to verify the legitimacy of the land claims and the legal basis for the eviction notices. For residents and those with property interests in the region, this development highlights the importance of verifying land tenure documentation and understanding local administrative procedures regarding property disputes. The investigation aims to clarify whether the company's claims are supported by valid legal titles or if the eviction orders were issued prematurely or improperly. At this stage, the specific details regarding the size of the affected area and the number of households involved remain subject to the findings of the newly formed committee. Further updates are expected once the provincial inquiry concludes its review of the documentation.
