The polluted river in Kampung Jenjarom.

KUALA LANGAT: Residents of Kampung Jenjarom here want to get rid of a battery manufacturing plant in their neighbourhood, which they have blamed for lead contamination.

Their grouses against the factory come on top of the illegal dumping of plastic waste in the area – located some 36km from Kuala Lumpur – that was widely reported by local and international media.
