Vale of tears<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
We, inhabitants of Villa Cinere Mas, RW 13 Pisangan
\nsubdistrict, Ciputat, Tangerang hereby protest the expansion of
\nthe Jupiter Land housing project, because it involves filling in
\na 12-hectare valley carried out by PT Indokisar Djaja of the
\nOngko Group.<\/p>\n
The expansion is destroying a natural valley and green space
\nwith all the harmful consequences to the Pesanggrahan river,
\ngroundwater catchment, trees, ponds and water resources in
\ngeneral.<\/p>\n
Another impact is the high density of land use due to the
\nconstruction of 400 luxury houses without the provision of public
\nfacilities. It will be a big burden for the existing roads and
\nbridges which have been maintained for years with funds coming
\nfrom the inhabitants. The new project's blueprint does not show
\nany alternatives. The project foresees using the existing
\ninfrastructure unilaterally, without any approach to the
\ninhabitants.<\/p>\n
We have reported the damage of the environment to the
\nauthorities, the regent of Tangerang and the environmental
\nagency. But sadly, no positive response has been forthcoming.<\/p>\n
