Pramono Inaugurates Pari Island Wharf Revitalisation in Thousand Islands
Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung inaugurated the revitalisation of a wharf at Pari Island in the Thousand Islands archipelago. The wharf, managed by the provincial transportation department, is expected to facilitate mobility for residents in the Thousand Islands region.
The inauguration took place during Pramono’s working visit to Pari Island on Friday, 13 March 2026. He arrived accompanied by provincial government officials as part of a Ramadan inspection tour to examine various public services in the Thousand Islands.
“In the name of Allah the Most Gracious and Most Merciful, on this Friday, 13 March 2026, I hereby declare the revitalisation of Pari Island port officially inaugurated. Thank you,” Pramono said during the ceremony.
Pramono stated that his visit to the Thousand Islands aimed to ensure provincial government programmes were functioning effectively across the island region. He and his team directly examined the conditions of public services on several islands.
“Today I and the ranks of the municipal administrations, the Thousand Islands regent, deputy head of the transportation department and other officials are conducting a Ramadan inspection tour to directly observe the conditions of public services in the Thousand Islands,” he said.
During the visit, Pramono also inspected affordable market activities at Pramuka Island. A total of 1,000 food parcels were provided to assist residents in preparing for Eid al-Fitr celebrations.
He noted that food prices in Jakarta, including in the Thousand Islands, remained relatively stable. Price increases occurred only in certain commodities with small percentages.
“Among all the prices that increased quite notably was curly chilli, rising by approximately 3 per cent, with other items increasing only 1 to 2 per cent,” he said.
The affordable food parcels were sold at 50,000 rupiah, reduced from the normal price of 100,000 rupiah. Additionally, some parcels were distributed free of charge through corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes.
On the same occasion, the provincial government distributed free service cards to approximately 1,108 residents. Furthermore, free eyeglasses were distributed by the Indonesian Opticians’ Association to residents in need.
Pramono considered these various programmes would help the island community. He had previously inspected Panggang 02 primary school and inaugurated a domestic wastewater management system (SPALD) at Pramuka Island.
According to him, infrastructure development and public services in the Thousand Islands would continue to be strengthened to improve residents’ quality of life. “Hopefully this will provide benefits for residents in the Thousand Islands, especially on Pari Island,” he said.
