🔵Live Jateng Sore Kamis, 25 Juni 2026 - Pemkot Semarang Jelaskan Pemotongan Pohon di Simpang Lima

The felling of several trees in the Simpang Lima area of ​​Semarang has drawn netizen attention after a video went viral on social media. The video, uploaded by the account @dinaskegelapan_kotasemarang, narrates the felling of trees that had stood in the area for decades. "Residents are starting to wonder. The trees that have provided shade and the lungs of the Simpang Lima area for decades are disappearing one by one. The western side is already bare, and now the eastern side is following suit. If there is a development project, the public certainly has the right to know its purpose, benefits, and impacts. We must not let the green open space that should cool the city turn into a stretch of concrete that becomes even more scorching during the day. When trees are cut down, what is lost is not just the trunks and leaves, but also shade, pedestrian comfort, and the city's identity," wrote the account, which subsequently received hundreds of comments from netizens.
