Families agree to relocation<\/p>\n
MAGELANG, Central Java: Fifty-two families living in Kajoren
\ndistrict in the Central Java town of Magelang, which is
\nsusceptible to landslides, have agreed to abandon their homes and
\nbe relocated to safer ground, an official said on Monday.<\/p>\n
Heavy rains since last week has led to a number of landslides,
\nand several families have begun to dissemble their houses in
\nanticipation of further landslides. In various parts in the
\ndistrict, the land has sunk by 20 to 25 centimeters.<\/p>\n
\"The plan now is to move them to a location further down the
\nhill, somewhere along the border of Bangsari village and close to
\nthe street,\" said Magelang regent Hasyim Afandi, and added that
\nthe cost was being negotiated with the village chief.<\/p>\n
He said every family would receive a plot measuring 100 square
\nmeters, and that the administration would also build a mosque, a
\nparking area and a recreation area at the new location. -- Antara<\/p>",
