The Bandung City Government (Pemkot) has increased the stock of medium rice in market operations to be sold at low prices to the public in order to control rice prices. Bandung City Regional Secretary Ema Sumarna said that now the price of rice in the market has begun to creep up. According to her, one kilogram of rice has reached Rp. 13 thousand per kg. "Initially, only 10 tons of rice were provided in each sub-district. There are also 20 tons but not many. The mayor supports this. Finally, all sub-districts get an allocation of 20 tons of rice," said Ema as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, February 22. In the market operation, Ema said the medium rice sold was for Rp. 8,500 per kilogram, or Rp. 42,500 per bag of rice containing 5 kilograms. "We still sell this for Rp. 8,500 and one person is given an average allocation of a maximum of 10 kg of rice shopping," said Ema. In addition to increasing stock, according to her, the requirements for buying rice were also tightened so that many people could feel the benefits of market operations. The residents who come must also bring IDs according to their respective homes in order to prevent residents from other sub-districts from buying rice in the market operation. In addition, according to her, every citizen who buys rice also gets a marker on his finger or digs his finger into ink as has followed the election.

He hopes that the market operation can be really targeted because it is given to people in need. In addition, he also invited the public to realize that market operations were carried out for mutual welfare. "Don't let there be jockeys because that potential can happen. But I'm sure they heard the explanation from the officers," he said.
