Kanindotex has another problem

SEMARANG: Kanindotex, the giant textile business group widely
rumored to be facing financial difficulty, faces a problem on a
different front -- its factories are now the subject of an
official investigation for allegations of pollution.

The Central Java legislative assembly is monitoring Kanindotex
plants in Harjosari and Merakrejo after residents near the plants
complained of waste being dumped into the river.

The local government has already ordered the factories to stop
operating their printing machines because they failed to control
their waste.

The company will only be allowed to operate the plants again
after it fixes their waste treatment facilities. (har/emb)
