\u201cWe are here in person to ensure services to the public run smoothly.\nWe also urge people to remain calm and not to panic-buy, as fuel\nsupplies continue to arrive and we are jointly overseeing distribution,\u201d\nGus Par said on Sunday (18 October 2026).<\/p>\n
Of the 2,000-litre allocation, 100 coupons equivalent to 300 litres\nwere distributed at Ababi petrol station, 200 coupons equivalent to 600\nlitres at Merita, and 134 coupons equivalent to 402 litres at Abiansoan.\nThe remainder was distributed in rotation at other petrol stations\nacross Karangasem.<\/p>\n
Gus Par also used his personal funds to provide meal allowances to\nstaff who had been on duty since the morning, and distributed mineral\nwater and vitamins.<\/p>\n
In the urban area, monitoring was led by Karangasem Regional\nSecretary I Ketut Sedana Merta. The inspection found that fuel stocks at\nseveral petrol stations were secure.<\/p>\n
