Bus strike causes traffic jam

CILACAP, Central Java: Thousands of people were stranded when
more than 250 local bus drivers stopped work to stage a protest
demanding an increase in fares.

The protesters marched to the local legislative council to
press their demand, which resulted in congestion in surrounding
areas.

At the same time, 300 traders also visited the council
building to protest a plan to relocate the market in Mejenang
district.

They said the new proposed location was prone to flood.
