Shop/houses to be demolished

TANGERANG, West Java (JP): Local authorities plan to demolish
12 shop/houses illegally built in the Cimone Alam Permai housing
complex.

The head of Tangerang regency public order office, Suparman,
said yesterday there were no permits for the buildings which were
on plots designated for public facilities.

"There is no reason for the developer, PT Bumi Tangerang Alam
Permai to build any structures on the land," Suparman said.

A warning letter was sent to the developer on Nov. 13. The
letter ordered the developer to demolish the illegal structures
by Nov. 19.

A Tangerang mayoralty source said the company's director,
Hengky Sucipto, sent a letter to the Tangerang Mayor Djakaria
Machmud on Nov. 19, saying the building of the shop/houses was
meant to curb illegal shanties which squatters might build.

Hengky was unavailable for comment. (27/sur)
