SOUTH TANGERANG: Victims of the Situ Gintung dam burst disaster currenty stayinging at the temporary Wisma Kerta Mukti I and II shelters in Ciputat have been told to leave in the next two weeks.

"The period we had promised to accommodate them for has almost ended," Ahadi, a South Tangerang administration official, said Thurday.

"We hope they leave without our having to resort to force," he said.

He said the displaced persons should have left the shelters following the administration's distribution last month of relief funds collected from donors.

He said while Wisma Kerta Mukti I belonged to the West Java provincial administration, Wisma Kerta Mukti II was privately owned, and that the owners were looking to use the facility. - JP
