TANGERANG: After an investigation, Tangerang municipality has
found irregularities in the implementation of an ongoing
elementary school renovation project, an official said on
Thursday.

"We found discrepancies in column widths and the foundations,"
Tangerang Mayor Wahidin Halim said. "We will sue the contractor
unless it remedies the defects."

Starting last week, renovation work on 221 dilapidated public
elementary schools commenced. Some of the schools are in danger
of collapse.

Tangerang municipality has hired a contractor to repair or
rebuild the schools, which were mostly built in the early 1980s.
