Lebaran Homecoming Tips: Preparations Must Be Done So That Travel Is Calm And Comfortable

Homecoming (IST)

JAKARTA - The moment of Eid homecoming is always eagerly awaited as a time to gather with family in their hometown. However, before starting the trip, there are several things that need to be considered to ensure the safety and comfort of the house while left behind.

General Manager of PLN Jakarta Distribution Main Unit, Lasiran, shared several tips for Eid homecoming so that your trip was calm and comfortable.

"First of all, before starting the trip, make sure to pay the electricity bill first so that homecoming is calmer. For customers with a prepaid system, don't forget to fill in the electricity token. This ensures that even though the house is left, lighting from the lights remains on, reducing the risk of unwanted events," said Lasiran in a written statement received by VOI.id on Thursday, April 4.

Second, make sure to remove all electrical equipment that is not used. Electronic equipment that remains plugmed in has potential damage, especially when a lightning strike occurs at home and the home grounding installation is not in good condition. Turn on only the electrical equipment that is actually used, such as terrace lights.

Third, make sure that the electricity connected is official electricity and uses kWh meter according to the subscription power and designation of the house.

"Furthermore, you can also entrust the house to a security guard or close neighbor. This step ensures that if an emergency occurs, the handling can be faster and the impact can be minimized," added Lasiran.

Finally, take advantage of the PLN Mobile application for various electrical needs, ranging from bill payments, token purchases, to reporting or complaints. All of these things can be done online, even from the hometown.

Lasiran added that PLN UID Jakarta Raya has prepared 1,684 personnel and 24-hour standby equipment spread across 17 Idulfitri electricity standby posts, ready to serve the needs of the community during the Eid homecoming period.

"If there is an electrical disturbance, the public can immediately report it through the PLN Mobile application. Our officers will come soon and resolve all customer complaints," concluded Lasiran.

By following these tips, it is hoped that your Lebaran homecoming trip will take place safely and comfortably, without worrying about the condition of the house left behind.
