Street blockade protested<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Several residents of the Ketapang Indah
\nresidential complex in the Lebak Bulus subdistrict, South
\nJakarta, have filed a complaint with the Municipal National
\nStability Coordination Agency about a street being blocked in the
\narea.<\/p>\n
They demanded the street be reopened.<\/p>\n
The street blocking was conducted by several men, under the
\norder of Achmad Ma'ruf, by placing a concrete slab on the street.
\nOnly pedestrians and motor cycle drivers are able to get into the
\nstreet.<\/p>\n
\"It's the only way to get to our house,\" Sarifudin, one of the
\nresident told Antara.<\/p>\n
Kaptin Adisumarta, the owner and manager of the Ketapang Indah
\nResidential Area, said that the blockage has been removed by
\nlocal residents five times since November last year, but was
\nalways immediately put back again.<\/p>\n
South Jakarta Vice Governor Idroes has actually sent a letter
\nto Ma'ruf, warning him that blocking the street was not in line
\nwith the area master plan.<\/p>\n
According to Inventory Map No. 44\/IVEN\/1992, the area has been
\nearmarked as a public street, the letter stated.<\/p>\n
South Jakarta Mayor H. Pardjoko also has warned Ma'ruf to ask
\npermission from other residents before closing the street.<\/p>\n
The warning was apparently ignored by Ma'ruf, which is why the
\nresidents went to agency. (25)<\/p>",
