Police to grill alleged polluters

TANGERANG: The Jakarta Police will soon investigate five
industrial firms for allegedly causing pollution, an official at
the Tangerang regency administration said on Friday.

The regency's environmental agency head, Deden Sugandhi, said
that his office had report the five firms to the Office of the
State Ministry of the Environment.

Sugandhi revealed that the firms were aluminum producer PT YKK
Alumico, nail producer PT Dunia Metal Work and iron button
producer PT Jaya Sunli, all in Curug district, and two poultry
companies in Cikupa: PT Jaffa Osi and PT Adi Satwa.

Separately, chief of permit control at the agency, Cecep

"We need accurate data ... If we do bring the cases to court,
they will be the first in Tangerang," he added. --JP
