Six polluting hospitals caught

JAKARTA (JP): Six hospitals were found polluting the Ciliwung
and Cipinang rivers during the 1995/1996 fiscal year, an official
said.

The head of the city environment bureau, Aboejoewono
Aboeprajitno, said yesterday that the clean river program team
found that the hospitals dumped wastes straight into the river
without treating it.

"We sealed the waste pipes which pour the waste into the
rivers," he said.

Aboejoewono refused to name the hospitals. He gave their
initials instead. He said the C, F and G.S. hospitals were
polluting the Ciliwung River and the H.K.T, P and O.M. hospitals
were polluting the Cipinang River. (yns)
