Removal of occupation from 93 hectares of national land in Alborz

In implementation of the law on resolving encroachments on state lands, operations to remove illegal occupation and organize state lands have been conducted in Alborz and Fars provinces. These measures include the recovery of encroached lands and the determination of status for portions of lands allocated for agricultural projects. Operations in Fars have been carried out with emphasis on broad organization, while in Alborz the focus has been on removing illegal occupations.

• In Alborz province, quotes indicate varying figures for lands recovered: one source refers to 93 hectares, while another source cites 1,853 hectares.
• In Fars province, organization operations have covered more than 36,000 hectares of land during the current year.
• In Fars, 73 hectares of lands allocated for agricultural projects have had their status determined.
• The law on resolving encroachments has been employed as a tool for organizing and regularizing the status of state lands in these operations.
• The lands in question have had various uses, including encroached lands and previously allocated lands for agricultural purposes.. Coverage difference: ISNA sources, through three separate reports, demonstrate greater detail, with each emphasizing a particular aspect of the operations (removing occupations in Alborz, organizing in Fars, and determining status); in contrast, another news agency cites a significantly larger figure for Alborz (1,853 hectares) that is inconsistent with ISNA sources' 93 hectares, and this discrepancy may result from differing definitions of "removing occupations" or different time scopes.
