Flood victims to be relocated

JAKARTA (JP): The city administration will build low-cost
apartments in flood hit areas in Jati Petamburan, Central
Jakarta, in an attempt to provide better housing to local flood
victims.

The head of the city housing agency, Onky Sukasah, said
yesterday that the five-story apartment buildings will stand on a
two-hectare plot. "The project will start in 1997," he said.

Onky said that the eight buildings, with 180 apartments each,
will cost Rp 30 billion (US$13.95 million).

The money will come from the city budget and, based on
gubernatorial decree No. 540/1990, from developers who apply for
permits to build luxurious apartments.(yns)
