North Sumatra fuel distribution improves, Pertamina ensures ample supply

The distribution of fuel in North Sumatra is steadily normalizing, according to Pertamina Patra Niaga. The company, in collaboration with regional governments, security forces, and other stakeholders, has successfully reduced queues at gas stations and ensured that the public's energy needs are met.

To verify the progress, Prabu Revolusi, an independent commissioner for PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, conducted a management walkthrough. He visited the Command Center, which monitors fuel distribution, and several gas stations in Medan city. Observations via CCTV and direct field checks indicated that vehicle queues have gradually returned to normal, and services to the public are functioning more effectively.

Revolusi praised the collaborative efforts of all parties involved in accelerating the normalization of fuel distribution. "The most important thing for us is that the public can easily and comfortably obtain fuel again," he stated. He emphasized that the current situation on the ground is improving and that the collective work has been key to optimizing the distribution process.

The most important thing for us is that the public can easily and comfortably obtain fuel again. The results of today's monitoring show that the situation on the ground is getting better. The collaboration of all parties is the key so that the distribution process can run optimally again.

Pertamina also urged the public to remain calm, assuring them that fuel stocks in North Sumatra are abundant and sufficient. The company advised citizens to use fuel responsibly according to their needs and to refrain from excessive purchases. They also cautioned against the spread of old, out-of-context videos that could cause unnecessary panic.

To maintain reliable energy supply, Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Sumbagut is optimizing operations by running the Integrated Terminal Medan Group 24 hours a day, increasing the number of fuel tanker trucks, strengthening personnel, and optimizing supply from various fuel terminals. The company continues to monitor the situation closely to ensure consistent energy provision for the community.

We invite the public to use fuel wisely according to their needs and not to make excessive purchases. We also urge the public to obtain information about stock and distribution conditions through Pertamina's official communication channels, as there are several old video clips being republished without context, which could potentially cause panic.
