JAKARTA - DPR Speaker Puan Maharani made a working visit to North Sumatra (North Sumatra) on Thursday, September 1. In her kunker, Puan attended reforestation activities in North Tapanuli Regency (Taput) to plant fish seeds in Lake Toba.

Arriving at Silangit Airport, Puan was greeted directly by Governor Edy Rahmayadi, North Sumatra Police Chief Inspector General of Police Panca Putra, and Regional Military Commander I/Bukit Barisan Major General TNI Achmad Daniel Chardin. During his visit to North Sumatra, Puan was also accompanied by Chairman of Commission V of the DPR Lasarus and Deputy Chairman of Commission X DPR Agustina Wilujeng Pramestuti.

Puan then planted a mango tree in the Gantole Tourism Area, Huta Ginjang, Muara District, which is located right on the back of Tugu Aritonang's hill overlooking Lake Toba.

Residents also welcomed Puan's arrival along the way to the planting site. He was also greeted by hundreds of PUMA volunteers (Puan Maharani) who wore white t-shirts with photos of Puan.

"Puan presiden, Puan presiden," shouted the volunteers.

Puan and her entourage then planted a mango tree with residents of Muara District. After planting, the first woman who served as Chair of the Indonesian House of Representatives had a dialogue with the community accompanied by the Regent of South Tapanuli, Nikson Nababan.

"I invite these members of the DPR to think about North Tapanuli and North Sumatra because I see Taput, how come it's just like this. That's why I invite members of the DPR to think about development here together," said Puan.

Puan then asked residents to convey their aspirations to the council. One of the residents from the women group hopes to get organic fertilizer processing facilities because they have difficulty getting fertilizer.

The processing of manure for farmer groups will collaborate with farmers so that the organic produced by farmers can be used as fertilizer to grow rice, corn, and others. Puan promised to seek infrastructure that can support the manufacture of organic fertilizers.

"For organic fertilizer tools, we will try," said Puan.

A host who had a dialogue with Puan suddenly raised her hand. He then prayed for Puan so that she could become President to advance the nation.

"I'm tired of your brain. I pray you can lead Indonesia. May God bless you," said the host.

A resident named Toga Aritonang also expressed the same hope. He hopes that Puan can continue the work of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

Pak Jokowi's development must continue. And we hope this will continue. The one who continues, Mrs. Puan," hoped Toga Aritonang.

"We represent the village head in Taput who supports mothers in the future," said the local village head who also hopes that his area has a Horse Pacuan to support tourism.

Meanwhile, the Regent of North Tapanuli, Nikson Nababan, revealed that Lake Toba has a predatory fish known as Red Devil.

Puan then went to Lake Toba which is located in the Muara sub-district to carry out a fish seed whose place is near Muara Harbor. Along the way from tree planting locations to fish seeds, Puan was greeted by residents who were neatly lined up on the side of the road.

In addition to sowing fish seeds, the former Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture also had a dialogue with a number of fish cultivators. Puan also fulfilled many requests from residents and fish traders from ports for a group photo.
