JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung asked residents not to panic buy amid the conflict involving the United States (US), Israel, and Iran. He ensured that the stock of fuel oil (BBM) and basic necessities in Jakarta were still safe.
Pramono said that Jakarta was one of the areas that was always prioritized in fulfilling fuel stocks. The local government also ensured that energy reserves were available ahead of the Lebaran homecoming period.
"If it's fuel, Jakarta is always a priority for what, the stock, because we also have our own stock," said Pramono in Jagakarsa, South Jakarta, Friday, March 6.
Pramono hopes that the availability of fuel will be maintained during Ramadan until Eid al-Fitr, especially when people's mobility increases.
"So hopefully in fuel in Jakarta in the context of welcoming Eid al-Fitr, especially for those who go home, although I still encourage them to go home to Jakarta so that the fuel is not thrown away anywhere, hopefully it can run well," he said.
Apart from fuel, Pramono also ensures that the availability of basic necessities such as rice, meat, and chili is still sufficient. In fact, according to him, some commodities have excess stocks.
"For Jakarta, things that include basic needs, ranging from rice, meat, curly red chilies, and others, we guarantee it is safe. In fact, there is actually an excess of stock," claimed Pramono.
He assessed that the condition was reflected in the price of food in the market which was relatively stable. Until now, there has been no significant price spike in a number of major commodities.
Pramono admitted that there had been an increase in the price of curly red chilies in recent times. However, the increase is still considered within reasonable limits.
"That there was an increase in curly red chilies yesterday was only about three, four, five percent. And hopefully we can keep this," he said.
Meanwhile, to maintain the stability of beef prices, the DKI Provincial Government has increased supplies through live cattle imports. This step is taken to ensure that prices remain under control ahead of Eid.
"Including the most important thing is meat. Why then yesterday our meat was imported and entered 2000, the tail, we really prepared so that the price of meat in Jakarta does not increase," said Pramono.
