Klojen (malangkota.go.id) – As an effort to control inflation during the month of Ramadan and ahead of Eid al-Fitr 1440 H, and in order to maintain price stability and food availability in Malang City, the Malang City Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID) carried out monitoring and monitoring of price stability and food availability at several points, Wednesday (8/5).
Some of the points monitored include Klojen Market, Bunul Market, UD. Sari Bumi distributor, UD Surya Kusuma distributor, Bulog's New Warehouse and Pertamina Malang Fuel Terminal.
The Mayor of Malang, Drs. H. Sutiaji, on this occasion led the monitoring operation directly, accompanied by the Regional Secretary of Malang City, Drs. Wasto, SH, MH and the entire TPID Team of Malang City.
This monitoring aims to direct public expectations regarding the availability of basic necessities entering the month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr in Malang City in sufficient conditions, so that people do not compete to buy basic necessities in quantities that exceed reasonable levels which can cause scarcity and price increases.
On the sidelines of the monitoring activities, the bespectacled man also appealed to the public to buy basic necessities in sufficient quantities according to their needs to maintain price stability and control inflation in Malang City.
Currently, Sutiaji said the price of basic commodities that must be controlled is garlic. According to him, this commodity has experienced a fairly fluctuating price spike lately, but this week Malang City has received a supply of eight tons of garlic so that the price of garlic on the market today has decreased.
Through this monitoring, it can be seen that the availability of basic necessities in Malang City when entering the month of Ramadan and approaching Eid al-Fitr is considered safe and sufficient for the needs of the community.
Meanwhile, when visiting the Pertamina Malang BBM Terminal, Pertamina also guaranteed the availability of BBM and LPG in Malang City will meet the needs of the community. BBM stock in 2019 is predicted to increase by 11 percent, namely 2.750 KL, so Pertamina Malang will also anticipate this.
Meanwhile, for the availability of LPG, currently Malang City has a stock availability of 23.662 cylinders with an average lasting for 4,6 days.
Specifically to welcome the use of the Malang-Pandan (MaPan) Toll Road, Pertamina said that as long as there is no... rest area with the gas station service, Pertamina has provided a fuel dispenser service to meet the needs of travelers. (Ts/yon)
