THE Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MoALI) has issued a notice to all growers in the Seintalone mango zones in the four townships of Nay Pyi Taw to apply for land use permits by the end of this month.
The Seintalone plantation zone has been implemented in Dekkhinathiri, Ottarathiri, Lewe and Tatkon townships of Nay Pyi Taw since 2010, and some farmers who have been working on prior approvals will need to apply for other use of their land under the Vacant, Fallow, and Virgin Land Management Law and its rules to continue farming, it said.
For those who have acquired permits from Nay Pyi Taw land management committees, with some of their land plots not permitted yet, their right of use may be revoked under Section 22 (A) (3) of the law. The deadline for their land use application is 31 August 2025.
Section 16 (c) of the law prohibits the mortgage, lease, sale, transfer, or division of permitted land plots without the Union Government's approval. Anyone who violates the law will be punished with two years' imprisonment or a fine not exceeding K1 million or both, according to Section 29 (A) (a). — Htet Oo Maung/ZN
