Kupang to become new municipality

KUPANG, East Nusa Tenggara: To welcome the promotion of Kupang
to the status of municipal city on March 20, the governor has
called on the public to renovate the city.

Herman Musakabe told the people to demolish useless old
buildings and remove eyesores. He said earlier that 10 old
buildings, including a former high court building, would be
demolished.

Businessmen and shop-owners were told to keep the city clean
while maintaining the green belts in the city, which has a
population of 160,000 people and consists of 25 subdistricts.

Herman said that as Kupang has become a municipal city, the
capital of the regency will be moved to Sulamo. The new
municipality will be extended by 230 square kilometers. (16)
