BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: Deputy governor Hasan Aman reopened the Amuntai shopping center in Hulu Sungai Utara district Thursday.

The largest shopping center in Hulu Sungai Utara caught fire last month, less than a year after the multi-billion rupiah project was opened.

Hulu Sungai Utara Regent Suhailin Muchtar said the local government spent Rp 800 million (US$350,000) to rehabilitate the market, Antara reported. (pan)
