TERNATE - The offices of state-owned power company PLN in Ternate, Maluku province, has once again become the target of angry people. The office was the target of stones thrown by angry people because power outages have hit the area for quite some time now. A number of windows of the building located along Jalan A. Yani has been scattered.
It is expected that people from a number of districts are involved in the actions as several of these areas have been hit with power outages without they have been notified of them. A number of witnesses said that the action seemed to be planned well in advance. They came, threw their stones and left again as soon as possible, according to a witness that did not know the perpetrators.
At the time members of the local police force arrived at the scene they could do nothing more than investigate the scene, taking the stones with them as evidence. Police also decided to put two officers at the office to anticipate on further actions of angry residents.
Power outages used to be announced, but that is no longer the case now. Above that power outages last much longer. Where power was out for three to four hours a day earlier, this has now become nine to ten hours a day in the last week. A spokesperson of PLN said that the rolling blackouts were scheduled because of a breakdown in one of the machines in the Kayu Merah diesel-powered plant.
