Glass shop to be demolished<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Central Jakarta Mayor Abdul Kahfi has ordered
\nsubordinates to pull down a glass shop located at the corner of
\nJl. Gunung Sahari and Jl. Angkasa Raya to make way for a road
\nenlargement project.<\/p>\n
\"The owner has been given a deadline to demolish the building
\nbefore May 28. The mayoralty team will tear the building down if
\nthe owner fails to demolish it,\" Antara quoted Kahfi as saying on
\nMonday.<\/p>\n
He said the building obstructs traffic from and to Jl. Gunung
\nSahari and Jl. Angkasa Raya. Therefore, demolition would be the
\nonly option. \"The building has become the only obstacle to
\ncarrying out the road enlargement project,\" he added.<\/p>\n
The mayoralty has provided the shop owner with Rp 246 million
\nin compensation, but he has yet to accept the amount.<\/p>\n
\"We hope that the shop owner will take the money soon, before
\nwe leave the money at the local court,\" Kahfi said.<\/p>\n
Records indicate that the building should have been torn down
\nthree years ago, but the owner had earlier filed a lawsuit
\nagainst the mayor's demolition order. The Supreme Court has
\nturned down the shop owner's appeal. (sur)<\/p>",
