Demolition by force

Demolition by force

From Pelita

Not many people know that permission from the mayoralty is required for constructing a fence around a plot of land, besides the permission for constructing a building. Therefore the community should be informed about this matter.

The people will be outraged if the authorities do not pay attention to this problem. Plots needs to be fenced to avoid individuals from causing ownership problems, such as falsifying the land titles etc.

The fencing of the land at Jl. Perda 1, RT007/RW05, South Petukangan, South Jakarta, was done in order to give a sense of security to myself as the owner.

I have been applying for permission from the mayoralty but the process is very long simply because of strict regulations and bureaucracy. Despite the fact that the application for permission is still underway, the fence was demolished on Oct. 6, 1994 at noon. So all efforts were to no avail and I have wasted time and money. I appeal to the authority concerned to pay due attention to this matter.
