Cement dust polluting

From Media Indonesia

The cement dust discharged by a concrete factory company located in Serpong, Tangerang, West Java, is heavily polluting our residential area in Kademangan village. Even though we have reported the problem to the regent, the private company, P.T. Karya Beton is still discharging the chemical dust which is known to be very harmful to health.

Besides causing air pollution in the area, the company's factory engines are also continuously producing noise which seriously disturbs our rest and sleep.

We wonder why the authority in the regency does not take any action against the company which has violated the environmental law.
