Kosambi barred from industry

TANGERANG (JP): Kosambi district was designed for warehouse
developments, not as industrial estate, as stipulated in the
Tangerang regency spatial planning regulations, local
administration spokesman Machdiar said recently.

"So we urge businessmen who have built factories in Kosambi to
move to other areas," Machdiar told reporters.

He was responding to local councillors who discovered during a
recent visit to Kosambi that some warehouses were being used as
factories.

Owners of the factories told the councillors they had obtained
permits from the local administration. They also suggested that
the spatial planning regulations be revised to allow for the
increased industrial activities in the area.

According to Machdiar, Regent Agus Djunara had ordered
officials in the regency office of the Ministry of Industry and
Trade not to issue permits to people who wished to change the
designation of their building's usage in Kosambi. (41/jun)
