Residents complain about developer

TANGERANG: Hundreds of residents of Adiyaksa housing complex in
Cikasungka village, Cisoka subdistrict of Tangerang regency
complained that housing developer PT Adiyaksa Kostindo had long
deserted the area without completing the development of public
facilities they needed.

Cipto, a resident living in Blok A of the complex, said on
Wednesday that most of 1,300 residents living in the 300 hectare
complex had left their houses due to the poor public facilities.

"We don't have water anymore. The water pump provided by the
developer has been out of order for a long time and residents
have to buy water at Rp 800 per jerry can for daily needs," he
said.

Another resident Wagiman said that residents hoped the state-
owned tap water company Tirta Kerta Raharja would extend its
services to the complex.

In addition, the residents also complained about difficulties
in buying daily foodstuffs since there was no market or shopping
center near the complex.

"To buy foodstuffs, we have to go to Balaraja, some 15
kilometers from the complex," Wagiman said.

He added that since the monetary crisis hit the country in
1997, the developer could not continue constructing houses, let
alone public facilities. Many unfinished houses were left
neglected in the complex. --JP
