PLN attacked for blackout

TANGERANG (JP): About 30 residents of Sepatan subdistrict in
Tangerang attacked on Tuesday evening the office of state
electric company PLN on Jl. Raya Mauk, following two power
blackouts that occurred during the day.

Residents pelted stones at the office, breaking several
windows and glass doors, Sepatan Police chief Insp. Sumardi said.

They told the police they were upset because PLN did not
respond to reports of blackouts in their area.

"That's why the residents were angry and attacked the
office," Sumardi said, adding that none of the
attackers were detained.

The blackouts occurred between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
and 9 p.m.(41)
