Locals threaten to block Bojong plant

BOGOR: Residents near the Bojong waste treatment plant have
threatened to block off the plant if it attempts a trial run on
Wednesday, Detik.com reported on Saturday.

"We insist that the plant be relocated and refuse to allow it
to be operated," said Erwin Usman of the Indonesian Forum for the
Environment, which has been working with the Bojong residents.

Bojong residents attempted to block off the entrance to the
plant on July 27 and July 29. In their last attempt on Friday,
some 30 people from plant operator PT Wira Guna Sejahtera
attempted to forcibly drive the residents off.

No injuries were reported in the clash. -- JP
