Farming project on neglected land<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Governor Sutiyoso said that he and the city's
\nfive mayors are ready to act as guarantors for the public
\nintending to allow the use of neglected land for the cultivation
\nof vegetables or other secondary crops.<\/p>\n
\"The mayors and I will act as guarantors in the utilization of
\nthe neglected land,\" he said at a ceremony for the launching of a
\nfarming project on unused land in Sunter Indah housing complex in
\nNorth Jakarta.<\/p>\n
However, he restated that the utilization of neglected land
\nwas only temporary. \"If the owners want the land back, the people
\nwho join the farming project can not claim anything,\" Sutiyoso
\nwas quoted by Antara as saying.<\/p>\n
Therefore, he urged the land owners to inform him as soon as
\npossible when they intended to take their land back.<\/p>\n
Sutiyoso said that the six-hectare farming project in Sunter
\nwas developed on land belonging to private firms PT Indofica
\nAusin and PT Pembangunan Jaya.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, North Jakarta Mayor Subagio said that neglected
\nland in his mayoralty was estimated at about 1,300 hectares, of
\nwhich only four percent belonged to the city administration, 14.8
\npercent to individuals and 81 percent to housing developers.
