Fire victims to get temporary kiosks

JAKARTA: Hundreds of traders in Senen market who lost their
kiosks to fire on Sunday will receive temporary kiosks within a
month.

The director of PT Jaya Real Property Tbk, the developer and
manager of the market, Diaz Moreno, said on Tuesday the company
would need a month to build temporary kiosks in Blok V on the
fifth, sixth and seventh floors of the market.

The construction will begin soon, he said in a report to the
company's investment and development board, Antara reported.

More than 200 of 327 kiosks in Block IV of the market were
destroyed by a fire that started at about 6:45 p.m. on Sunday.

The police are still investigating the cause of the fire, but
some kiosk owners suspect arson because their leases expired in
December and they had been asked to move to Block V because Block
IV is to be replaced by a new building. --JP
