Rebuilding to begin in Bengkulu<\/p>\n
BENGKULU, Bengkulu: State oil company Pertamina, steel
\nproducer Krakatau Steel and private television channel Indosiar
\nhave been named sponsors of a construction project to rebuild
\npublic facilities damaged by a powerful earthquake earlier this
\nmonth.<\/p>\n
Governor Hasan Zen told Antara on Wednesday that the sponsors
\nwould construct elementary school buildings, medical facilities
\nand doctors' residences.<\/p>\n
Hasan said that the sponsors were needed as donations raised
\nfrom the public did not cover the cost of rebuilding the
\nfacilities, while the disbursement of the government's relief
\nfund would take a long time.<\/p>\n
According to Hasan, donations from the public had reached Rp
\n2.3 billion, whereas the reconstruction project would cost more
\nthan Rp 200 billion.<\/p>\n
The project will cover 103 community health centers, 128
\nhouses for doctors and paramedics, hospitals and school
\nbuildings.<\/p>\n
An earthquake measuring 7.3 on Richter scale shook Bengkulu on
\nJune 4, leaving 94 people dead, nearly 2,800 others injured and
\nmore than 40,000 houses damaged. The total material losses were
\nestimated at about Rp 400 million. (09)<\/p>",
