Letter: Situ Gintung reconstruction
The Jakarta Post | Fri, 03/19/2010 11:49 AM
With a seemingly endless supply of negative things to say about the
Jakarta government and administration, I would actually like to report
what appears to be good news.
I live quite close to Situ Gintung in Ciputat, Tangerang and, while I
was very fortunate that my house was not damaged in the flood of a year
ago, I drive right through the most heavily impacted area twice each
day.
In the past few months there has been some excellent reconstruction of
Jl. Gunung Raya (which was destroyed in the flood), the local mosque
and the dam itself.
This is a very welcome development! And while there is still much more
work to do, I am very encouraged and pleased with the efforts put forth
by the local authorities. Keep up the good work!
Mirika
