Review of Pantai Kapuk urged

JAKARTA (JP): A legislator has urged the government to review
the environmental impact analysis on the construction of a luxury
housing complex at Pantai Indah Kapuk, a coastal area in West
Jakarta.

"Even by casual observations it is obvious that the analysis
on the luxury housing complex has not been properly carried out,"
Ismunandar, deputy chairman of City Council told Antara on
Monday.

He pointed out that the Soedjatmo toll road has often been
inundated during heavy rains and the mangrove forests there have
been destroyed because of the construction of the housing
complex.

Ismunandar reiterated that the analysis for the construction
of the housing complex should be reevaluated by experts appointed
by the government.

"The developer must bear all costs needed for the reevaluation
work," he said. (bas)
