Ganjar Pranowo Accompanies The National Police Chief Checks Homecoming Posts, Makes Homecomers Comfortable And Gets Information

JAKARTA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo accompanies National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo in reviewing the readiness to secure the Central Java homecoming route at the Kalikangkung Toll Gate Integrated Post, Semarang.

“All sectors upload phone numbers for call centers. At least the WA number, because that's the most liked, and we'll share it. I think that's the most important message today," said Ganjar in his written statement, Thursday, April 28.

Apart from that, Ganjar ensured that Central Java was ready to face the peak of the homecoming flow. The provincial government provides support, by preparing alternative routes and showing off culinary delights.

“This culinary show is important, so at the rest area that was mentioned earlier, if you are tired, this is the order of the Chief of Police, take a break. So it's time to take a break to be comfortable," he said.

The National Police Chief, Sigit, in a press conference after the closed meeting, revealed that the results of his observations have not increased the density of homecoming traffic in Central Java. From the last report, the increase was only about 6-7 percent.

In addition, Sigit and his related staff also discussed traffic engineering strategies to the readiness of alternative routes, such as the north coast and the south route, in order to break down traffic jams and vehicle congestion when going home.

"Earlier, it was also discussed that one way implementation would be carried out simultaneously starting on 28 (April) from 17.00 to 24.00. We have prepared this and we see that the peak of the homecoming flow will begin on that date," he said.

In addition to solving traffic congestion, Sigit emphasized that safety is a priority in carrying out homecoming. For that, he asked for collaboration in the rest area to be maximized.

"If it's over the clock or our endurance, we urge you to take a short break in a rest area that has an integrated service post for refreshing, to ensure that people are in top condition on their journey. This is what we certainly ask for information," he said.
