Dumai (Antara Bali) - Dumai city Police Chief Adjunct Senior Commissioner Ristiawan Bulkaini has said that only farmers and fishermen will be allowed to buy subsidized fuel oil using jerry cans.

Ristiawan made his statement on Saturday, during a coordination meeting regarding the impact of the fuel price hike on gasoline distribution to the public.

The coordination meeting was held with a number of fuel related parties, including the city's Department of Industry and Trade and Dumai's regional legislative council commission II officials.

This prohibition had been issued by the Governor of Riau, HM Rusli Zainal, who has ordered that the public will no longer be unable to purchase fuel by filling jerry cans at public gas stations.

Further, Dumai's regional legislative council Commission II member Amris expects to adopt policies and appropriate solutions for retail fuel dealers.

"Because these fuel dealers had expressed their concerns by coming to the council office, now the police and government should address this issue wisely and prudently so that no more of our people suffer due to the price hike," he said.(IGT)
