TANGERANG (JP): Local authorities have given approval for
\nrenovating four shopping centers and a hotel which were burned
\nand damaged during massive riots last May, an official said on
\nSaturday.<\/p>\n
Tangerang construction agency's chief, Ahmad Basyari, said
\nthat technically, the buildings could be rebuilt.<\/p>\n
\"The owners have submitted technical specifications based on
\nconstruction research carried out by a team of experts appointed
\nby the mayoralty to the construction office,\" he said.<\/p>\n
The buildings which could be rebuilt are Matahari department
\nstore in Cimone, Sabar-Subur shopping centers in Jatiuwung and
\nPasar Baru, Aneka Subur shopping center and Istana Nelayan Hotel
\nin Jatiuwung.<\/p>\n
Ahmad said that none of the building owners had plans to
\nrenovate their facilities in the near future, even though the
\nlocal authorities have offered free-of-charge services for

\nto cost Rp 2 billion to Rp 6 billion.<\/p>\n
