Meeting with Judaical Officials Unsuccessful, Citizens Still Demand Moving the ‘Scar of Chiang Mai’

by CityNews

 

 

CityNews – Chiang Mai residents held a panel discussion with judicial officials to discuss the Court of Appeals Region 5 residence for judicial officers that many claim is encroaching into the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park.

 

On march 24, a group of citizens, led by Hug Chiang Mai Party, Suebsan Lanna, The Green Beauty Scented Network and Rak Chiang Mai Network, met with judicial officials at the 700th Anniversary Stadium to discuss options regarding relocating the residences currently being constructed behind the court.

 

These residences have been dubbed the ‘scar of Chiang Mai’ after being shared widely on social media, showing a housing estate cutting deep into the forests of Doi Suthep.

 

The project has been under criticism for encroaching into the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, despite being ruled that it was not encroaching the national park due to the fact that the land was gifted to the court from the County Militia Headquarters at 33 Camp Kawila and not part of the national park in the first place.

  BUT, was it the same judicial branch who made this ruling as the very ones to be benefiting from the housing project?
