JAKARTA - The Mayor of Surabaya, Tri Rismaharini, has only two months to live in his term of office, intensively undertakes voluntary work. One of them is leading road paving in the Kembang Kuning area, Surabaya City, East Java, Monday, December 21.

"These are the stages of a good road paving," said Mayor Risma while giving an example to the DGH and Pematusan Public Works Service Task Force which was carrying out paving in Kembang Kuning, Surabaya.

Initially, the Mayor of Risma led community service at the entrance to the Yellow Flower Tomb, starting from the lightening of trees, spraying roads to cleaning channels or rivers in the area.

After that, Risma moved to the front of the Rahmat Mosque. In that place, Risma asked his staff to repaint the faded fences of the mosque. Meditation was also carried out around the mosque. In fact, in front of the mosque, Risma asked the ranks of the Public Works Office of Bina Marga and Pematusan to do road widening as well as paving the road.

When the Bina Marga and Pematusan PU Service Task Force carried out paving of the road at that place, Risma, wearing pink boots, gave an example by immediately taking a tool to pour the asphalt onto the road.

On that occasion, Risma said that she had worked several times in the Kembang Kuning area. This is because there are many cultural heritages in the area, including the Rahmat Kembang Kuning Mosque, the Yellow Flower Tomb and several graves of other figures.

"So, I want to organize it in the area. I also want one day in that place to become a tourist destination. In addition, the channel is also dredged to facilitate water that also comes from Mayjen Sungkono," said Risma.

Head of Public Works for Bina Marga and Pematusan Erna Purnawati added that the road in front of the Rahmat Mosque was widened with a capacity of about one meter. Because previously there was still a road in the form of land, so the Mayor of Risma asked that everything be paved.

"So, when it is dry, the road hit by a car must be dusty, and during the rainy season the soil must dissolve, causing sedimentation in the canal. That is why Mrs. it will be dusty again, and it will not create a sediment in the channel, "he said.
