        "summary": "The Udayana Military Command is supporting Pertamina in securing fuel distribution across Bali after shortages and long queues disrupted service at petrol stations. The shortages were partly attributed to a delayed fuel tanker, while officials say military personnel will help manage queues and prevent disputes as distribution is restored.",
        "content": "<p>Denpasar (ANTARA) \u2013 The Udayana Military Command is helping\nstate-owned oil and gas company Pertamina secure fuel distribution in\nBali following shortages and long queues of vehicles at several petrol\nstations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn principle, the Udayana Military Command supports the measures\nneeded to maintain security and public order during fuel distribution,\u201d\nsaid Colonel Inf. Amrizal Nasution, head of the command\u2019s information\noffice, in Denpasar on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The measures are intended to maintain security and public order and\nprevent potential disputes within the community. Cooperation among all\nparties is essential to ensure the situation remains safe and stable,\nthe command said.<\/p>\n<p>The support was discussed during a meeting between Pertamina\nPresident Director Simon Aloysius Mantiri and his staff, and Udayana\nMilitary Command chief Major General Piek Budyakto, at the command\nheadquarters on Wednesday (14 October).<\/p>\n<p>Pertamina requested support from military personnel to help secure\nfuel distribution at several petrol stations in Bali. Their presence on\nthe ground is expected to help anticipate security and public-order\ndisruptions, manage vehicle queues and prevent disputes among members of\nthe public or with petrol station staff.<\/p>\n<p>Piek welcomed the meeting and said the command would support efforts\nto ensure smooth fuel distribution. He said security assistance was\nexpected to help create an orderly and stable situation so that services\nto the public could continue safely and smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>After a meeting with the Bali Governor at the Pesanggaran fuel depot\nin Denpasar on Tuesday (13 October), Pertamina President Director Simon\nAloysius Mantiri said the late arrival of a fuel tanker was one factor\naffecting the distribution schedule.<\/p>\n<p>According to Simon, the vessel encountered difficulties while\nanchoring, delaying its arrival beyond the planned time. This affected\nfuel distribution to several areas of Bali.<\/p>\n<p>Simon stressed that the explanation was not intended to justify what\nhad happened. He apologised for the fuel shortages in Bali over the past\nfew days and emphasised the need to maximise services to the public so\nthat fuel needs could be met and distribution return to normal.<\/p>",
