Deli Serdang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deli Serdang is a regency in the Indonesian province of North Sumatra. Deli Serdang is located south and east of Medan. The capital of the district is Lubukpakam, located approximately 30 km east of Medan.
Boundaries of the district:
- To the north: the Langkat Regency and the Strait of Malacca
- To the south: the Karo Regency and Simalungun Regency
- To the east: the Asahan Regency and the Strait of Malacca
- To the west: the Karo Regency and Langkat Regency
Deli Serdang has three plantations owned by London Sumatra (LONSUM) [1].
In June 2004, farmers and indigenous peoples in a number of villages within the district had protested over land ownership of their villages (apparently, the government had leased the land in the villages to LONSUM, but they rejected such leasings and resisted from moving). It is said that the authorities had shot farmers and indigenous people attempting to reoccupy the villages. [2]
