The so-called Form 3 certificates were issued at a ceremony on July 9 in Madaya township, Mandalay Region, to allow 32 former owners to take back 208 acres (83 hectares) of land seized by the Ministry of Industry in 1978 at Yay Nant Thar village. The land was transferred to the Ministry of Health in 1990 to build a leprosy hospital, but the original ownership was not disputed.
