IDOARJO: About 100 mud flow victims from Besuki Timur village, Jabon district, Sidoarjo, East Java, staged a rally on Tuesday, blocking one of the alternative roads connecting Kalitengah village and the damaged toll road.
The victims demanded the Sidoarjo administration provide public facilities like schools, mosques, sport centers and cemeteries.
They said they wanted to have a normal life, as they had before Lapindo mud flow hit their village and demolished their houses, as well as the village's public facilities.
Rally coordinator Slamet said the villagers were finding it difficult to bury their relatives' bodies.
"People from other villages do not allow us to bury our relatives at their public cemetery. They gave no clear reason why we were prohibited from doing so."
