JAKARTA - The Indonesian Police's Traffic Corps (Korlantas) is preparing infrastructure and security for the 2023 Eid homecoming route.

"Everything is fine, it remains only to prepare the security, we have prepared the infrastructure, especially the personnel responsible for security," said the Director of Security and Safety at Korlantas Polri Brigadier General Ery Nursatari in a written statement reported by ANTARA, Friday, February 24.

This was conveyed by Ery and related stakeholders, when checking the route for the Semarang-Surabaya toll road homecoming ahead of the readiness for Operation Ketupat in 2023, Friday, with the final destination being the Cito Police Station, Surabaya, East Java.

Checks were also carried out at the KM 575B Rest Area at the Solo-Ngawi Toll Exit, East Java to see the readiness of the parking spot. Arriving at the Cito Traffic Post, Surabaya, the National Police Traffic Corps, and stakeholders received a presentation from the East Java Regional Police Traffic Directorate, Kombes M Taslim Chairuddin regarding the readiness for Eid homecoming 2023.

Eri hopes that the police in the regions must be more responsive and observant in seeing the situation. This is because the presence of members on the toll road section is needed to unravel the traffic jams that occur during the 2023 Eid homecoming.

"So there needs to be a member who regulates. There must be a way that can be done to reduce overcrowding, the important thing is that members are ready to act in the right way," he stressed.

The survey for the homecoming route had been carried out the day before by the head of the National Police Traffic Corps and stakeholders from the Jakarta-Semarang Toll Road, and was continued today from the Semarang-Surabaya Toll Road.

Previously, the Head of Traffic Corps Polri, Inspector General Firman Shantyabudi appealed to people who wanted to go home to their hometowns during this year's Eid, to be in prime condition.

Travelers are asked not to use two-wheeled vehicles and are advised to switch to other modes of transportation for safety during the trip.

The head of Traffic Corps appreciates the preparations made by all parties, with the availability of the toll road which will later operate in preparation for this year's Eid homecoming.
