JAKARTA - PT Pertamina (Persero) ensures that the stock of fuel oil (BBM) subsidies of the Pertalite and Bio Solar types for Aceh Province is still safe and sufficient to serve the needs of the community. "So far, the stock is still quite safe, it can cover up to 5-6 days", said Section Head Communication & Relations of Pertamina Sumbagut Agustiawan, quoted from Antara, Thursday, September 1. He made this statement regarding the empty stock of Pertalite and Biosolar fuel subsidies at a number of Public Fuel Filling Stations (SPBU) in the West Aceh Regency, Nagan Raya, and other areas in Aceh. Agustiawan explained that regarding the existence of a number of gas stations in West Aceh and Nagan Raya that experienced fuel vacancies, this might have happened due to delays in distribution. According to him, PT Pertamina continues to distribute subsidized fuel as usual, and his party ensures there is a reduction at all. Responding to the government's discourse on increasing the price of subsidized fuel prices, said Agustiawan, Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Sumbagut is committed to continuing to ensure the availability of Subsidized fuel stocks for the community, and ensuring the smooth distribution of Subsidy fuel to the last distribution agency. As a business entity receiving assignments from the Government, Pertamina will continue to coordinate with the Government so that the distribution of subsidized fuel can be right on target and in accordance with the quota set by the Government. "We hope that people don't need to panic in the face of this discourse on increasing subsidized fuel, and let's wait for a decision from the government," Agustiawan added. To the wealthy and industrial community, his party appealed to use non-subsidized fuel so that subsidized fuel quotas could be enjoyed by people who are more entitled.
