Government has handed 200 agricultural and residential leases in the Western Division in the last two days.
Minister for Lands and Mineral Resources Faiyaz Koya says they handed 117 leases to people in Ba, Tavua and Rakiraki.
He says 99 were agricultural leases while seven were residential leases.
11 approval notices were also issued yesterday.
Today, 83 agricultural and residential leases were given to people in Lautoka, Nadi and Sigatoka.
Koya reminded people to adhere to the lease agreement.
Meanwhile, Koya has stressed that the handing over of agricultural and residential leases and approval notices have been an ongoing exercise for quite a while and is in no way fueled by political ambition.
Koya says the government recognizes all as equal citizens as there is no more alienating an ordinary Fijian from another.
He held public consultations in Rakiraki, Tavua, Ba, Lautoka, Nadi and Sigatoka.
