Landowners of Nadakuvatu in Saru Village, Lautoka are calling on the government to act on its long-delayed promise to return NG 187, a 3,177-acre land in the Vanua of Vitogo.
Villagers say their forefathers fought to reclaim the land, and now it is their turn.
They allowed the widening of the Tavakubu cemetery in good faith, expecting the land to be returned with compensation.
In February, Minister for Lands and Mineral Resouces Filimoni Vosarogo told Parliament that Cabinet had approved the reversion after the land survey was completed and registered.
They are urging Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka and Minister Vosarogo to follow through without further delay.
