We see two important things related to fuel, the first in terms of good stock availability, distribution is running well, and consumers are served adequately. Second, the projection and realization of fuel quotas, especially in the South Sumatra region is also good," he said.

According to him, the government also ensures that additional services provided by the assignment business entity can ensure the smoothness and comfort of the community during the homecoming and backflow of Lebaran 2024.

Tiko and Mulyono also visited gas stations on the busy route for travelers at Rest Area KM 311 A Ogan Komering Ilir, South Sumatra.

At the gas station, he stated that the fuel stock was maintained and the process of supplying fuel was still safe.

"With good distribution operations like this, we ask that it be maintained properly, so that the fuel quota that we have provided can be accounted for," said Tiko.
