"It is targeted for completion in the upcoming December," he expressed, Friday (11/10 ).

RW 08 Chairman, Munjul Urban Village, Maidi Syahrial, appreciated the urban village for collaborating with residents to arrange slum areas in his area.

"Every day, we also help monitor and arrange things," he uttered.

In the surrounding locations, four more locations are still needed to be arranged and made into superior parks for the following year.
