JAKARTA (Jakarta Post): Ulujami residents have threatened to blockade the Ulujami-Serpong turnpike again if state tollway operator PT Jasa Marga fails to finalize land compensation payments by Wednesday.
Lawyer representing the residents, Andi Rivai, said the tollway operator was yet to compensate residents whose land was acquired to construct the tollway.
"We haven't received anything. If Jasa Marga doesn't pay up by Wednesday, we will blockage both lanes of the tollway," he said at the Jakarta Police headquarters.
Rivai said the tollway operator owed displaced residents more than Rp 4.3 billion (approximately US$462,700) in total.
City police deputy chief Brig. Gen. Raziman Tarigan said all related parties would be summoned to a meeting Wednesday at police headquarters.
The residents blockaded the tollway on Sept. 6 and Nov. 8, causing extensive traffic congestion on both occasions.
