        "content": "<p>Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi revealed that 17.7 million people\nare predicted to enter Central Java during this year\u2019s Eid al-Fitr\nmudik. The figure is about 2.7 million higher than last year\u2019s mudik.\n\u2018This year\u2019s forecast for those entering Central Java is around 17.7\nmillion people. Last year it was around 15 million, so there is a fairly\nsignificant increase. With that many people, all parties must be\nprepared because Central Java is the central hub of the national mudik\nmovement,\u2019 Luthfi said in Semarang on Thursday (5 March 2026). As part\nof preparations, Luthfi disclosed that the Central Java provincial\ngovernment will complete repairs to damaged and pothole-ridden roads no\nlater than seven days before Eid. According to data from the Public\nWorks and Spatial Planning Agency (DPUPR) of Central Java Province,\nthere are around 3,395 pothole sites that must be repaired before the\nmudik begins. Beyond road infrastructure, other measures anticipated\nahead of mudik include the potential occurrence of hydrometeorological\ndisasters, given the ongoing rainy season. \u2018We also need to be wary of\nnatural disasters, such as landslides, floods, and even the possibility\nof volcanic activity at Mount Merapi. Some areas such as the Muria\nMountain range also deserve attention due to their vulnerability to\ndisasters,\u2019 Luthfi said.<\/p>",
