“Even at the peak of the traffic, there will definitely be an increase in traffic that causes congestion, because the road capacity is filled with a larger volume than usual, so we need to implement various measures such as odd-even policy, one way, contra flow, and other traffic engineering measures,” said National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit, as quoted from Merdeka.com.

The number of homecoming travelers is expected to increase due to the post-Covid-19 pandemic situation, but it is hoped that the situation before and after Eid will remain smooth.

“All of this is done so that the homecoming journey process can be well managed and the community can reach their destination smoothly and we hope that everyone is safe.”

Operation Ketupat

Travelers are expected to comply with travel regulations and follow the information that will be provided in the near future to ensure safety. Operation Ketupat will also be carried out as soon as possible.

“Soon we will enter the series of homecoming activities and it has started since yesterday. Of course, the National Police will hold an Operation Ketupat event to oversee and ensure that the homecoming goes smoothly as expected by the community,” he concluded.
