The green taskforce of Setiabudi District's City Park and Forestry Unit, South Jakarta pruned three prone to fall trees on Jalan  Guntur, Pasar Manggis Urban Village.

Setiabudi District's City Park and Forestry Unit Head, Budi Sudarman, said the pruning request was submitted to South Jakarta City Park and Forestry Sub-agency.

"This pruning is necessary to minimize and anticipate falling trees, especially when there are strong winds or high intensity rain," he said, Monday (8/25).

He added that 17 personnel were deployed to prune three Angsana trees with one meter diameter and 20 meter height.

According to him, the results of pruning tree parts, including branches, twigs and leaves, will be disposed of or processed at the temporary waste disposal site (TPS) at Dipo Srengseng Sawah.

"Actually, the submitted request was four trees. But the remaining tree is still waiting further instruction," he added.

Meanwhile, one of local residents, Saudi (45), thanked and appreciated Setiabudi City Park and Forestry Unit for responding the request.

"The tree is indeed very tall and very bushy. If we don't act quickly, we're worried it will fall, considering the current rainy weather," he admitted.
