Land plots were illegally in private ownership in the Tver region

More than 2.5 thousand square meters of land of the coastal strip and the water area of the Uglich reservoir were returned to state ownership, the Tver Interdistrict Environmental Prosecutor's Office reported.

The supervisory authority checked compliance with water and land legislation and found out that in one of the municipalities of the region, land plots were illegally owned by citizens, and part of the coastline and water area of the Uglich reservoir were illegally included in their composition. In order to return public lands and water fund to state ownership, the environmental prosecutor appealed to the court.

The court granted the claims. The court's decision has now been executed, the prosecutor's office informed.
