Tangerang gets ASEAN clean air award

ASEAN has awarded Tangerang city, Banten province, the ASEAN Environmentally Sustainable City (ESC) Award for the clean air category.

The award was received by Tangerang Mayor Arief R. Wismansyah at a ceremony held in Vientiane, Laos, on Thursday, according to Antara news agency.

Arief said Tangerang city had received recognition in the clean air category based on the factors of continual monitoring, emission testing and transport management, among several others.

He expressed hope that the award could serve as a source of motivation for local residents and civil servants to continue their efforts to develop the city in an environmentally friendly manner.

"We hope this award could motivate us and increase our spirit to work even harder to keep and maintain the clean environment of the city," the mayor added. (hhr)
