PHUKET: The investigation into the encroachment of more than 100 rai of protected forest in Phuket’s Nakkerd Hills will be handed to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to investigate further as a special case.

 

 

 

Suphachai Suksai, chief of the Encroachment Prevention and Suppression Region 4 office under the Royal Forest Department, confirmed the move after his officers had surveyed the area, a road and plantations carved out of the protected area straddling the hills between Kathu and Wichit, had affected a total of 108 rai of protected forest.

 

Mr Supachai and his team of investigators filed a formal complaint with the Kathu Police yesterday (Jan 21).
