T
he Tangerang administration will demolish thousands of houses to make way for the construction of three runways at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.
“Based on data, there are 2,459 plots of land set to be cleared,” said Himsar, head of Tangerang regency’s National Land Agency, as quoted by wartakotalive.com on Friday.
He said the evictions would affect three villages: Bojong Renged, Rawa Burung and Rawa Rengas.
In total, the administration would clear 134 hectares, he added.
Himsar claimed that the authorities had disseminated its acceleration plan to soon-to-be evicted residents, as well as gathering data on their properties.
“The data will be given to the appraisal team to determine the properties’ value. Then, we will make payments,” Himsar said.
