SEMARANG - The Indonesian National Police is still focusing on securing the 2026 Eid homecoming through the Enhanced Routine Activity (KRYD), following the still 42 percent of travelers who have not returned to Jakarta.
Head of the National Police Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas), Agus Suryonugroho, said the potential for the return flow movement was still high, especially ahead of the second peak which is predicted to occur on March 29.
"From our projections, 42 percent of travelers have not yet entered Jakarta. We are still managing this with security in the field," said Agus in Semarang, Thursday, March 26, early morning, quoted by Antara.
He explained that although Operation Ketupat 2026 had officially closed on Wednesday, March 25, security continued through KRYD.
According to him, police personnel are still on alert to anticipate the movement of local travelers, especially in agglomeration areas which are currently still crowded with pascalebaran activities.
"There are still community activities in the home village that have the potential to cause the next surge in the reverse flow," he said.
During the implementation of Operation Ketupat 2026, the National Police recorded the peak of the homecoming flow reaching 270,315 vehicles, the highest in history.
This figure increased by 4.62 percent compared to the previous year which was recorded at 258,512 vehicles.
Even though the volume of vehicles has increased, Agus ensured that traffic conditions remained under control thanks to the implementation of traffic engineering, including the national one-way or one-way system.
In terms of security, he added that the maintenance of security and public order (harkamtibmas) during the National Religious Great Day period was conducive, without any notable incidents.
"Starting from Chinese New Year, Nyepi, to Eid al-Fitr, everything is safe and under control," he concluded.
