Journalists to hold cleaning program

JAKARTA (JP): Journalists covering North Jakarta mayoralty activities will hold a cleanliness program starting next Friday.

The program will involve mayoralty officials, military officers and the public, Antara reported on Saturday.

"Mayor Suprawito backs up the program," said Aliston Radjagukguk, mayor assistant for administration and development.

"We hope the journalist-sponsored program increases public awareness in making North Jakarta clean, healthy, nice and orderly," he said.

Among the five mayoralties in the city, only North Jakarta has not been awarded the Adipura Award. The Adipura Award is given by President Soeharto to cities or towns for cleanliness.

Mayor Suprawito appealed to people to take part in the cleaning program.(29)
