190 trees in the Monas area were cut down, Anies did not give comments
The Provincial Government said that the logging was part of the revitalization of Monas.
The revitalized location is located next to the Monas IRTI Field or across the Jakarta City Hall which will be converted into South Monas Plaza, a shadow reflection pool, and also a semi -amphitheater -shaped sitting area.
Responding to this, in the Sapa Indonesia program, urban planning expert from Trisakti University, Nirwono Yoga, actually regretted the inconsistent attitude of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to overcome floods.
The capital experienced a decrease in environmental quality when it should require more infiltration areas.
Asked about the logging of hundreds of trees, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was reluctant to comment.
Anies submitted an explanation about the Monas revitalization project, to the Head of the Cipta Karya Spatial Planning and Land Dinas DKI Jakarta Hermawanto.
Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, then summoned the DKI Jakarta Spatial Planning and Land Karya Office, for a joint meeting, in order to clarify the logging of hundreds of trees in the Monas area.
The Chair of Commission D instructed the temporary dismissal of the project work because it did not yet have a development permit from the Ministry of State Secretariat.
Responding to this uproar, the Speaker of the Indonesian Parliament, Puan Maharani also asked Monas not to be changed and returned to the original.
Monas should have been maximized as an Indonesian icon and not only as an icon of Jakarta. revitalisasi monas pohon monas ditebang anies baswedan monas jakarta
