Piling works disrupt phones

JAKARTA (JP): As many as 368 telephone lines from the Tebet Automatic Telephone Exchange have been disrupted since Tuesday due to piles being driven into the ground at the Jl. Casablanca construction project.

Rizal Saat, the head of PT Telkom's East Jakarta office said in a release yesterday that the piling works have destroyed 500 pairs of premier cable in Tebet.

The result is that telephone lines with the prefixes of 829, 830, 831 and 835 are out of order.

Repairs are being done by PT Telkom and are scheduled for completion next week, Rizal said.

He said that customers could call 117 in case of only minor telephone disturbance.(sur)
