Protesters support airport construction
MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: Thousands of protesters staged a rally on Wednesday in front of West Nusa Tenggara police headquarters, supporting a government plan to build an airport in Central Lombok regency.
In the rally, protest leaders gave speeches in turn before the noisy crowds, throwing weight behind the plan to construct the airport. The rally came after police personnel clashed on Sunday with a group of protesters who opposed the plan to build the airport. -- JP
