Attention: PLN-Cimanggis

Attention: PLN-Cimanggis

From Koran Tempo

The power supply in Harjamukti village, Cimanggis, Depok, is
subject to frequent blackouts, particularly during thunderstorms.
On Dec. 26, 2002, for instance, there was a blackout from 4 p.m.
to 9:45 p.m., even though the last rattle of thunder was shortly
after 6 p.m.

Every time we make a complaint to the local office of the
state electricity company (PLN), they tell us that something has
to be repaired. The problem is that these blackouts, ranging in
duration from 30 minutes to eight hours, have been plaguing our
village for about six years without any improvement despite the
repair work.

Meanwhile, the local PLN office has never deemed it necessary
to apologize to its customers for the power failures, although it
never fails to announce price rises. We hope this complaint will
reach the competent authorities for prompt follow-up.
