PLN turns off supply in Kapuk

JAKARTA: State electricity company PLN has shut down its power
generators that supply energy to the Kapuk area since Wednesday
due to intense flooding.

The spokesman for the PLN Business Distribution that oversees
Jakarta and Tangerang unit, Riyo Supriyanto, was quoted by Antara
as saying that the move was meant to minimize the chance that
anyone could be electrocuted in that area.

He added that the affected areas included the Kapuk Utara II
industrial center, Kapuk Raya, Kapuk Cendana, Kapuk Poglar, Kapuk
Pos Polisi, and Kapuk Sawah and the surrounding areas.

He promised to restore the electricity supply as soon as
possible. Riyo also promised to increase the level of
distribution in areas prone to flooding. -- JP
