Locals complain over Sudirman Park

JAKARTA: Residents of Pasar Baru Timur in Karet Tengsin
subdistrict, Tanah Abang district, Central Jakarta, have
complained over the ongoing construction of Sudirman Park
Apartments, the rubble from which they say has filled the
drainage ditches on the sides of the road and covered road
shoulders.

"As a consequence, the drain overflows when it rains. The
water runs into my house sometimes," a local resident, Tarmat,
51, was quoted as saying by Tempointeraktif.com on Sunday.

He and other residents have raised the road surface to prevent
rainwater running into their homes.

The residents also complained to the developer PT Surya Gading
Mas Sakti, a subsidiary of Agung Podomoro Group, over the
reverberation resulting from the installation of concrete piles
that has caused their houses' walls to crack. -- JP
