MUKOMUKO - The Mukomuko Regency Government, Bengkulu Province will coordinate with Pertamina to find a solution to overcome the scarcity of subsidized diesel fuel in this area.

"We are trying to coordinate with Pertamina, because regardless of the scope of Pertamina, it is Pertamina that supplies fuel to this area," said Regent Mukomuko Sapuan in Mukomuko, Antara, Wednesday, March 23.

The scarcity of diesel fuel in this area has stopped the activity of garbage trucks from operating. This scarcity condition also occurs in Bengkulu Province because of the limited number of ports.

"Frankly, we don't know the actual quota for subsidized diesel fuel in this area," he said.

The Head of the Mukomuko Regency Environment Agency, M. Rizon, previously said that four trucks carrying garbage at the office had stopped operating in the last three days to transport garbage in residential areas.

"For the past three days, the car has not received diesel fuel, so it is difficult to transport garbage in residential areas in this area," he said.

As many as four damaged garbage trucks carry out activities to transport garbage from residential areas to the final waste disposal site (TPA) in this area.

One of the four garbage trucks every day is able to transport a minimum of three tons of garbage in residential areas scattered in a number of areas.

"It's possible that a lot of garbage has piled up both in temporary dumps and in every resident's house because for three days the garbage has not been transported," he said.
