Coastal ramp incursion upsets locals

Chon Buri: A resort user and the head of a town were the targets of local authorities’ complaints with the officers yesterday for alleged role in the construction of the ramp that encroaches on the Sattahip district’s coastline.

After receiving a problem about the alleged invasion, Chusak Nantithanyathada, acting area commander, was given the task of inspecting the region by Chon Buri provincial government Thawatchai Srithong.

Behind what is presently a closed-down hotel in tambon Samae San in Moo 1, the incline was being constructed. On September 4, the examination was conducted.

According to a GPS function, the ramp encroached on about 7 rai of land, according to older forestry official Mongkrot Aunruang.

A practical landing is connected to the slope, which is 79 meters long and one meter wide.

Trucks entering and exiting the slope design area, as well as backhoes working along the seashore, were discovered by the authorities. The officers gave the order to stop working while checks went on.

Sand and rock piles, as well as signs of digging, were found by officials.

Investigations revealed that the place is a part of the jungle, which is off-limits to the general public.

The local government had not been asked for permission to construct the slope.

The owner of the now-closed location, Naruedon Pisittakasem, and Apichart Aramrat, a village chief in tambon Samae San in Moo 3, were accused of overseeing the building after the acting area commander visited the invasion area.

The four costs include destroying state property and forests, engaging in illegal activity that harms natural assets under the Enhancement and Conservation of National Environmental Quality Act, and colluding in design that damages the forest without authority under Part 54 of the Forest Act.
