East Jakarta Mayor, Muhammad Anwar led the planting of 100 trees on land beside Jalan DI Panjaitan, Rawa Bunga, Jatinegara, Sunday (12/4).

According to him, the tree planting was conducted to follow up on the Jakarta Acting Governor's direction, which aims to reduce global warming and create clean, as well as healthy air.

"The surrounding environment will look greener and tidier, instead of seeming rundown," he expressed.

Several tree species planted today included Tabebuya, Flamboyan, and other trees.

To keep the area green and tidy, his party instructed the urban village head and Satpol PP to carry out supervision, thus irresponsible persons do not abuse it.

"Every day, PPSU and Parks Sub-agency Task Force will look after the area," he concluded.
