Minya governor: 97% completion rate achieved in state land recovery

Minya Governor Emad El Din El-Kady announced that the governorate has achieved a 97% completion rate in reclaiming and regularizing state-owned lands. This significant progress was highlighted during a meeting of the Supreme Committee for the Recovery of State Lands, chaired by Lieutenant General Osama Askar, advisor to the President for Military Affairs.

The meeting reviewed comprehensive data and field indicators, showing Minya's advanced performance in land regularization. The governorate's completion rate increased by 7% compared to the previous period. Lieutenant General Askar praised Minya's tangible achievements in implementing Law No. 144 of 2017 for land regularization and collection of state dues. He noted that Minya handles the largest share of regularization applications submitted under Law No. 168 of 2025.

Discussions also covered encroachments on state lands, with progress reported on the 29th wave of demolitions. All encroachment cases are being included in removal plans, with legal action to be taken against non-compliant situations. The committee emphasized the need to maintain the current pace of work and high completion rates.

Governor El-Kady appealed to citizens who have not yet submitted regularization applications via the electronic platform to do so promptly, as the application period closes on July 19, 2026. He confirmed that field committees will continue to operate, documenting encroachments, completing site inspections for regularization requests, and expediting decisions in accordance with relevant laws.
