President Director of Pertamina, Nicke Widyawati, stated that the West Java region, which includes Banten Province, the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, and West Java, is one of the focal points for the homecoming flow following the high number of travelers from these areas. Therefore, Pertamina needs to ensure that sarfas along these routes are ready to serve millions of people traveling to various regions in Indonesia.

"This morning, we checked Pertamina's readiness in preparing fuel for travelers, as the homecoming flow is expected to occur from this afternoon until the next few days. In addition to checking the supply readiness to ensure its sufficiency in fulfilling the increased demand for homecoming, we also ensure the measuring instruments for fuel and their quality, which are good," said Nicke during her visit to the 34.402.02 petrol station on Soekarno Hatta street, Bandung.

At the petrol station, Nicke conducted comprehensive monitoring ranging from petrol station operations and quality control of fuel’s volume and quality, such as terra testing, to checking tank trucks and storage tanks.

"We ensure there is no water contamination in the tank truck's fuel load to provide trust to the public that Pertamina conducts checks before transferring fuel from tank trucks to storage tanks located at petrol stations," she explained.

Nicke urged the public to contact Pertamina Contact Center 135 (PCC 135) if they encounter indications of fuel quality and volume discrepancies. It was also reiterated when Pertamina Management visited the PCC 135 office in Bandung. PCC 135 serves as the frontline for public complaints as well as the official source of information on the company’s products and services.
