Kiosks collapse into river

BOGOR: Several people were injured when 12 kiosks in the
Cibinong market in Bogor regency, collapsed into the Kali Baru
River on Monday.

Ujang Dadang, 30, a fruit vendor in the market, said the
incident happened at about noon.

"I was surprised when I heard a man calling for help. When I
went to check on him, I saw the kiosks had collapsed into the
river," he said.

There are about 350 kiosks in the market located along the
riverbank.

Cibinong district head, Helmi Gustian, said it was not
"proper" to build kiosks along the riverbank, but added that no
decision had been made on how to prevent similar incidents from
occurring in the future.

The collapsed kiosks, each measuring 7.5 square meters, sold
various items, including fish, meat, staple foods and gold.--JP
