Villagers reclaim territory


Makeshift lodge: The lodge near Mount Kinabalu that villagers of Kampung Bundu Tuhan say have intruded into their land

KOTA KINABALU: Villagers at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu are reclaiming a tract of their customary land used as the site of a lodge where the 10 western tourists had stayed before stripping on the mountain last year.

After a series of meetings with the Ranau District Office and other authorities, Sabah Electricty Sdn Bhd (SESB) cut power supply to the lodge yesterday.
