Traders want market built immediately

TANGERANG: Members of the Tangerang Joint Community Forum (Forbes) and hundreds of traders at Balaraja traditional market have demanded the regency administration cancel its contract with market developer PT Perdana Artha Carida.

Forbes coordinator Ahmad Zamroni said the project was stalling because the appointed contractor had not completed the necessary permits.

"We have also found irregularities in the physical work, which is different from the original plans," Ahmad said.

He said if Tangerang Regent Ismet Iskandar failed to cancel the contract, Forbes and the traders would file a class-action lawsuit against the administration.

Dedy Sutardi, the administration assistant who heads the team in charge of the market construction, said the administration was working to settle all the problems facing the project.

"We have also been preparing a switch to another developer, but not all of the members on the team agree with the plan," he said. -JP
