TULUNGAGUNG - The Department of Population and Civil Registration of Tulungagung Regency, East Java temporarily suspended the printing of electronic ID cards in the area, because the blanks were out.

"The actual stock is still there. But the number is very low," said Head of the Tulungagung Dispendukcapil Ninik Hartiani in Tulungagung, as reported by Antara, Friday, November 5.

This condition, called Ninik, has occurred in the past week. Not only in Tulungagung, but equally in almost all areas.

As a result, many applicants are disappointed because they have queued for hours and they can only follow the recording stage for printing the e-KTP. Meanwhile, the electronic ID card applied for cannot be printed at this time for reasons of priority scale.

"Temporary electronic ID card services are prioritized for those with urgent interests, such as BPJS management, hospital affairs, and residents who take part in the selection of CPNS and PPPK," he said.

Regarding the stock of blank KTP-e, the Tulungagung Regency Government cannot argue much. The reason is that the distribution process for e-KTP blanks comes from the Directorate General of Dukcapil, Ministry of Home Affairs (Mendagri).

"Before this condition, we usually applied for and took the form of e-KTP to the province. But because the province was empty, we went straight to Jakarta," he said. When asked about the number of e-KTP applicants every day, Nina said around 200 people. This number does not include the printing of the e-KTP which was carried out in the three District Integrated Administrative Services (Patens) of the District Offices of Ngunut, Campurdarat and Kauman.

"There, the stock is running low. But how many pieces are left, we can't explain because we haven't recapitulated it yet," he said.

Meanwhile, one resident, Mohammad Reza, admitted that he had to swallow his disappointment. The reason is, his desire to get an e-KTP must be delayed, because the Dispendukcapil has not been able to print until an undetermined time.

"If you can record it. Meanwhile, the information that was printed was only those with urgent interests, such as because you are sick, you need an e-KTP like that," said this resident of Kedungwaru Village/Sub-district.
