Residents protest over electricity

JEMBER, East Java: Dozens of residents in Curahdami subdistrict,
Jember regency staged a protest on Monday outside the Jember
council building, demanding that the administration act quickly
to install electricity throughout the subdistrict.

The residents' representatives met with local councillors
after the protest, and during the meeting, they expressed anger
at the government, which was incapable of providing electricity
in the subdistrict.

They said that they had prepared a proposal four years ago
with a detailed plan for electricity to be installed in the
subdistrict, but the proposal was not acted upon. -- Antara
