JAKARTA - The recommendation of the National Police Chief, General Pol. Listyo Sigit Prabowo that government and private agencies implement a work from home (WFH) system to prevent backflow congestion for Eid 2022 was welcomed by member of Commission III of the DPR Andi Rio Idris Padjalangi

"This step is appropriate, the National Police Chief just needs to communicate and coordinate with related parties so that WFH and the discourse on extending school holidays can coincide," said Andi Rio in his statement, Friday, May 6.

This step, according to him, is so that the congestion on the return flow of Eid 2022 can be unraveled in accordance with the expectations of all parties. He encouraged the WFH discourse to immediately get support and be fully realized by all parties.

"This is to ensure and answer the confusion of the workers who want to make a return trip for Lebaran so that they are not in a hurry and do not coincide with arranging the return schedule to Jakarta," he said.

Andi Rio assesses that the prevention of congestion is one of the efforts to provide safety and maintain health for travelers.

According to him, travelers should not, because they are in a hurry to get to Jakarta because they have to go to work, leaving travelers traveling at high speed on routes that are not connected to the electronic ticket system (ETLE) that violates the speed limit.

The Deputy Chairperson of the House of Representatives' Honorary Court (MKD) requested that travelers who will return for Lebaran to Jakarta can prepare in excellent physical condition and not carry excessive items.

This, he said, was to avoid unexpected things such as accidents and overloading the vehicle.

"Homecomers during Lebaran return should not bring too many gifts from their hometowns. Let's prioritize safety. That is so that we can all return safely to our destination and meet our neighbors," he said.

Previously, the National Police Chief appealed to private and government agencies that were still possible in the next week to carry out office activities on a WFH basis.

This, according to him, is to unravel the potential traffic jams for Eid 2022.

"Of course it needs to be coordinated so that between companies and existing office agencies, they can then coordinate with their employees so that the activity process can continue. However, the community also does not face the risk of backflow on May 6, 7 and 8," said Sigit.

The strategy and appeal, said Sigit, can be carried out with the hope that the return flow for Eid this year will run safely and smoothly.

"People can return to their activities to the office to work and on their journey can remain comfortable and our officers will go all out to provide the best service for the community," he said.
