houses in Gondoharum village, Jekulo district, in Kudus Monday
night.

Kudus Police chief Lt. Col. Imam Wahyudi said on Tuesday there

were angry because a group of people mocked their village and
called it underdeveloped," Imam said.

gathered to mediate on Tuesday afternoon.

"But we have also prepare additional security to guard against
the possibility of retaliation," he added. (har/edt)
