JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the MPR RI Lestari Moerdijat assesses that policies related to Eid homecoming must prioritize security and safety aspects through policies that make it easier for travelers in the midst of the economic burden experienced by the community.
"Allowing people to go home in the midst of rising prices of basic necessities, must be accompanied by policies that allow people to go home safely," said Lestari Moerdijat in a written statement in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Sunday, April 11.
She said the combination of a strong desire to go home and the limited funds owned by the community, has the potential to cause travelers to ignore safety.
Therefore, according to her, the estimated increase in the number of homecomers in the midst of rising prices that burden the community, must be anticipated with effective policies so as to facilitate the flow of homecoming safely.
"The joint homecoming program planned by the government is one of the policies that must be expanded. By involving existing transportation companies, it is expected to organize a joint homecoming program for its employees," she said.
Lestari assessed that a more coordinated homecoming process is expected to improve the safety of the homecomers until they reach their destination.

According to her, coordinated homecoming needs to be carried out, especially because every Eid homecoming period, there are always travelers who use two-wheeled motorized vehicles whose safety is prone to be threatened.
She hopes that the management of this year's homecoming can be well coordinated between central and regional stakeholders, so that people can meet their relatives in their hometowns safely in the midst of the current economic pressures that people are experiencing.
