PT Telkom working on major networks

JAKARTA (JP): The East Jakarta office of PT Telkom, the state- owned telecommunications company, announced yesterday that the office is currently working on major networks by reinstalling primary telephone cables in several areas of the mayoralty.

A spokesman for the office said telephone lines beginning with 820, 821 and 823 might be disrupted for a few days because of the work.

"But we will do our best to ensure that these telephone lines will not be totally out of order," he said, adding that the telephone connections in the affected areas are expected to be back to normal by the first week of this month.

He said customers whose telephone lines might still be disrupted after work on the cables is completed could raise complaints to PT Telkom's East Jakarta office, or just dial 117.

The areas affected are the Narogong Indah housing complex, the Pondok Hijau Permai housing complex, Jl. Raya Pengasinan and part of Jl. Pramuka Bekasi. (bas)
