Suriya insists SRT owns landListen to this articleTransport Minister Suriya JungrungreangkitTransport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit said a disputed 5,083-rai plot of land in Buri Ram's Khao Kradong belongs to the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), adding the ministry will resolve issues related to the 900 people currently living on the land within 30 days. Mr Suriya, also a deputy prime minister, said on Tuesday the SRT is complying with the Supreme Court's ruling in its favour. As such, when the Department of Lands' director-general gave a different opinion from the DoL's land committee, the SRT sent a letter of objection, he said, adding the body has yet to receive any response. He said the SRT has called for a meeting of legal experts to thoroughly examine the matter regarding the 900 people now living on the land. Possible solutions for these residents, as suggested by the Council of State, include renting land from the SRT.
