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)
