City protests to regency over dump

BEKASI: Bekasi municipality administration strongly protested
to neighboring Bekasi regency for dumping its waste in
Mustikajaya subdistrict, Bekasi municipality, since last month.

"We have protested to Bekasi Regent Saleh Manaf for illegally
turning part of our territory into their dump," said Bekasi
municipality spokesman Cecep Sutandi on Monday, adding that the
regent had yet to respond.

He claimed that the regency dump truck drivers had started to
dump daily waste in Mustikajaya subdistrict after the regent
closed down Burangkeng dump last month. He also said that angry
residents planned to sue Bekasi regency administration.

Sudjoko, a resident, condemned the regent decision before he
set up an alternative to replace Burangkeng. -- Antara
