Kendari residents complain of foul odor

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: Residents living around a cattle- feed producing company in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, are complaining about the foul smell it produces.

"The company is reckless as regards waste management in that it has been ignoring the foul smell, which has been greatly disturbing local people," said one resident on Tuesday.

A number of environmental organizations have submitted complaints to the local administration, but there has been no response to date.

The company, U.D. Buana Laut, collects fish heads, bones, and innards from fishing enterprises and processes them into cattle feed.

Its products are sold in Makassar, South Sulawesi, and Surabaya in East Java. --Antara
