JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung estimates that the number of new arrivals to the capital will increase after the 2026 Lebaran reverse flow period. This prediction is based on the trend of migrant movements returning to Jakarta, both through booking transportation modes and those who join their families.
"We predict that there will be an increase in the number of travelers who will return to Jakarta with their relatives, which is approximately 10 to 12 thousand," said Pramono at the Tosari Transjakarta Stop, Friday, March 27.
Pramono emphasized that the figure was still temporary and had not become final data. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will still monitor the development of the arrival of residents in the near future.
"This can be concluded like that from the trend of people booking vehicles or also those who go with their families and so on," explained Pramono.
In line with the potential surge, the DKI Provincial Government again reminded people who want to come and settle in Jakarta to be prepared, especially in terms of jobs and survival skills in big cities.
Pramono also ensured that the government would not carry out judicial operations against new arrivals as had been implemented in the past. However, he emphasized the importance of individual readiness before deciding to migrate to the capital.
"Jakarta does not have a judicial operation, but Jakarta certainly asks anyone who wants to complain about working in Jakarta they must prepare themselves," he said.
