No squatters in Dobo cemetery

JAKARTA (JP): The head of the city cemetery agency denies that
150 people are occupying the Dobo public cemetery in North
Jakarta.

"There are no squatters in the cemetery," he was quoted by
Antara as saying on Saturday.

Earlier reports said that 150 people have been living on the
cemetery grounds since Jan. 8, when the city began removing
bodies from the cemetery to clear the grounds for an upcoming
project.

The removal of 28,300 plots is part of the government's plan
to develop the 53,054-square-meter area.

The cemetery clearing project, which extends from the Dobo
cemetery to Semper, also in North Jakarta, is scheduled for
completion this month. (sur)
