Firms asked to open roads

PALANGKARAYA, Central Kalimantan: Villagers in Tumbang Manjul,
one of the most remote areas in the province, have asked local
forest concession companies to open their roads to the public.

The villagers said yesterday that the Seruyan River, the
village's main means of transportation, was prone to accidents
because of the strong currents.

"It will be very helpful for us if we can use the road," said
a local resident as quoted by Antara.

The road which belongs to PT Korindo and PT Erna Djulati is 20
kilometers long. (par)
