Susukan villagers to protest Jayamix

JAKARTA: At least 100 residents from Susukan in Ciracas district,
East Jakarta, protested on Sunday against PT Jayamix's plan to
build a factory in the village.

Ciracas Police Second Brig. Sudino said the residents had
staged their protest peacefully.

The residents object to the presence of the concrete-making
company, saying it will damage their groundwater resources. They
also said that they will be also disturbed by the sounds of the
company's trucks.

"Their trucks are very noisy and their sound will harm our
ears," Sumarwoto, 45, one of the residents, told Antara. "The
management of the company should pay attention to our
complaints." --JP
