The Ministry of Defence has returned to its original owners more than 2000 hectares farmland in Mandalay’s Thabeikkyin and Pyi Oo Lwin townships that the military and the government seized after 1988.
Up to 445 hectares out of more than 1052 hectares of farmland seized by units under the Ministry of Defence and other government agencies in Thabeikkyin Township were given back to 124 farmers on October 30 along with temporary land use certificates, said U Tint Myint Swe, the regional Member of Parliament for Thabeikkyin Township.
