SIDOARJO - Dozens of villagers from Keboguyang village, near Sidoarjo, blocked a gas transmission station owned by state gas company Pertamina, which is located in the village of Permisan. According to the demonstrators, it was agreed that Pertamina would improve the roads in the village. "For over 14 years they have their station here but until today there hasn't been any contribution to the village," said Margono, one of the demonstrators.
Ever since that gas pipe runs through their village, people have been scared by the fact that there might be an explosion of any kind, just like happened a few kilometers away some time ago. Keboguyang village is just three kilometers away from the center of the hot mud flow. The villagers did have contact with representatives from Pertamina before, but that never yielded a proper solution.
In this demonstration the people only were sitting in front of the gate. They didn't allow any vehicles from Pertamina to enter the site. Some officials arrived at the site to see whether they could resolve the current situation. "They want to sit here until there is a final sollution from Pertamina in the form of a contribution to the village."
