Forestry and Green Belt Division Head, Atang Setiawan disclosed tree pruning was carried out, as the twigs and branches of trees had dangled into the street.

"It is also done to anticipate fallen tree when it rains. Moreover the street is very dense with vehicle activity," he expressed.

He added the thick branches of the trees had also covered the street lights at night, so it could trigger criminal acts.

"That's why we prune these trees for anticipating unwanted things," he closed.
