Administration probes land status<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Bogor administration is checking into the status
\nof a plot of land in the Cipambuan village, Citeureup district,
\nbulldozed by developer PT M.P. to make way for the building of a
\nreal estate and golf course.<\/p>\n
\"The investigation is being conducted to make sure whether or
\nnot some of the land belongs to area residents,\" Denny M.
\nMoehry, the spokesman for the administration said, told Antara
\nyesterday.<\/p>\n
Denny said villagers had turned part of the land into
\na plant garden. \"They have also built several residential
\nhouses.\"<\/p>\n
According to Antara the authorities had ordered the developer
\nto stop land clearing activities in the area in an effort to
\nenable both sides (developer and residents) to settle their
\nproblem. The order was ignored as the developer reportedly
\nbulldozed the houses without any prior notification.<\/p>\n
The demolished houses are owned by villagers who refuse to
\nmove away and have turned down an offer of compensation from the
\ncompany because it was considered too low.<\/p>\n
The developer set the compensation fee at Rp 25,000 per square
\nmeter plus Rp 250 for each meter of building. The villagers have
\nreportedly asked for more because the price of nearby land has
\nreached between Rp 50,000 and Rp 100,000 per square meter.(bas)<\/p>",
