On March 25, information from the People's Committee of Lang Chanh district, Thanh Hoa province said that the unit had just issued a decision to administratively sanction Lang Chanh Forestry Company for the violation of "self-leying forest land".
The decision clearly stated that the company had deformed the terrain, changed the slope of the surface, and lowered the land surface, with an area of 0.82 hectares. The company has excavated part of the land area at lot 5, compartment 4, sub-compartment 420 (according to the land management and use map of Lang Chanh Forestry Company) into two levels, with the highest excavation point being 2.5 m and the lowest being 0.5 m compared to the original land surface.
For the above violation, the People's Committee of Lang Chanh district decided to fine Lang Chanh Forestry Company 150 million VND. At the same time, the company was forced to restore the original state of the land before the violation and pay the cost of measuring and determining the area of the violation to the Lang Chanh District Land Registration Office Branch, with an amount of more than 2.7 million VND. Within 30 days from the date of the penalty decision, Lang Chanh Forestry Company must complete remedial measures.
Previously, as Lao Dong Newspaper reported, recently, Lang Chanh Forestry Company (in Lang Chanh District, Thanh Hoa Province) has brought excavators to the production forest area (in Tiu Quarter, Lang Chanh Town) to dig and level the land with a total area of over 1 hectare. It is worth mentioning that this activity has not been licensed by the competent authority.
After receiving information about the incident, the People's Committee of Lang Chanh district requested Lang Chanh Forestry Company to immediately stop all activities of leveling forest land in the above area, not to build illegal camps and fully carry out related procedures before implementing the nursery.
