        "summary": "The East Lombok DPRD has indicated that hoarding of 3 kg LPG cylinders is causing shortages, urging the local government to form a task force involving relevant agencies, law enforcement, and Pertamina for monitoring and action. Despite claims from Pertamina and authorities of sufficient stock, residents face difficulties obtaining the gas, prompting calls for detailed data on distribution points to aid oversight. The district secretary announced an additional supply of 24,440 cylinders to be distributed starting that afternoon, prioritising four sub-districts with reported queues.",
        "content": "<p>The East Lombok Regional People\u2019s Representative Council (DPRD) has\nindicated that hoarding of 3 kg liquid petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders is\ncausing shortages. The DPRD is urging the East Lombok Regency Government\n(Pemkab) to form a task force to conduct monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>Hasan stated that Pertamina and the government claim the stock of 3\nkg LPG is safe. However, in reality on the ground, the public is still\nstruggling to obtain the gas cylinders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means that if the stock is safe, but below it is somewhat\nchaotic. If there are issues of shortages later, the public will also\nhoard,\u201d said Rahman.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this reasoning, Rahman continues to urge the East Lombok\nPemkab to form a task force (satgas). According to Rahman, this task\nforce will carry out field monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter we received the hearing from the student brothers and sisters\ntoday, we suggest that the regency government form a task force,\ninvolving related regional apparatus work units (OPD), law enforcement\n(APH), and also Pertamina. We need this task force to take action on\nindications of hoarding,\u201d Rahman said.<\/p>\n<p>Rahman also requested Pertamina to provide data on the number of LPG\ndepots and retailers. According to Rahman, this data will facilitate the\ntask force in conducting monitoring and enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also request that this data be presented, including the number of\ndepots and their locations, as well as the names of retailers, so that\nwith all this data, we can conduct monitoring easily,\u201d Rahman\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary of East Lombok Regency, Juaini Taofik, stated that\nPertamina will add 24,440 cylinders of 3 kg LPG supply. He assured that\nthis quota increase will be distributed today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStarting this afternoon, there will be a thickening of the quota,\nwhich is normally over 35,000. Alhamdulillah, this week there is an\naddition from Pertamina of 24,440 cylinders,\u201d Juaini explained.<\/p>\n<p>There are four sub-districts that will be prioritised for this\ndistribution, namely Pringgasela, Lenek, Aikmel, and Wanasaba. These\nfour sub-districts are prioritised because there were queues for\npurchases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is what we prioritise, for example, yesterday there was\ninformation in North Aikmel Village that there were queues, we settle\nthe priorities first because tomorrow there will be more additions.\nWell, tomorrow we might distribute evenly to depots in all\nsub-districts,\u201d Juaini added.<\/p>",
