Apartment project postponed

Apartment project postponed

JAKARTA (JP): The Central Jakarta mayoralty has ordered PT
Sari Lembah Hijau, developer of the Park Royale apartment
complex, to postpone its construction work until its dispute with
local residents over pollution is resolved.

Central Jakarta Mayor Abdul Kahfi told reporters Tuesday that
his office has ordered the Tanah Abang district office to suspend
the project.

Residents of the Bendungan Hilir subdistrict have filed a
complaint with the mayoralty over the construction of the
apartment complex, claiming that it has caused pollution to their
residents.

On July 6 the city agency for the supervision of development
projects issued a warning to the developer, and required PT Sari
Lembah Hijau to heed the residents' requests. (yns)
