The flow of homebound travellers and returnees in the Special Region\nof Yogyakarta (DIY) is being managed smoothly and safely, according to\nCoordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Djamari\nChaniago. He made the remarks while inspecting readiness at the airports\nand railway stations in DIY, and urged all staff at these facilities to\nprioritise serving the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been destined to serve the public, so there are no other\ntasks besides serving the people, especially at times like now,\u201d he said\nduring a visit to Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) in Kulon Progo,\nDIY, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
During the inspection, he asked that airport services be carried out\nand prepared well. He added that if an airline wishes to operate 24\nhours a day, it should be allowed. \u201cThe critical thing is if one flight\nis delayed, information must be swift,\u201d he said. The information the\npublic must know concerns when a plane will depart or whether there is a\nreplacement flight. \u201cPeople must know that, so our relationship with\nairlines must be maintained at all times, every day, and perhaps every\nhour,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
During his check at Stasiun Tugu Yogyakarta, the minister conveyed\nthe same message about serving the public. He noted that it is a\nconsequence for workers in the public service sector to never have\nholidays during festive periods. The minister reminded that task-sharing\nrules can be implemented effectively so as not to cause slackness,\nnegligence, or fatigue. \u201cIf that happens, it could lead to accidents and\ncould snowball into something big, making our good work seem useless due\nto one small accident,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
On that occasion, he urged PT KAI to communicate with Forkopimda,\nespecially regional governments, as well as the TNI and Polri to ensure\nsmooth service to the public. He is confident that all staff working at\nairports and stations can perform their duties well, as this is a form\nof dedication to the interests of the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the staff, my message is: do not get bored, do not tire, and do\nnot become weary of serving our society,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Aria Nugrahadi, Assistant Regional Secretary (Sekda) of\nDIY, said the regional government has been monitoring the preparedness\nfor mudik services. He revealed that there is potential for the number\nof mudik travellers entering Yogyakarta to reach up to eight million\npeople.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, the preparedness and attention from the Kemenko Polkam\ngive us confidence to welcome and serve during the Eid celebrations, to\nmake it better,\u201d Aria said.<\/p>\n
A similar level of readiness was also conveyed by Ruly Artha, General\nManager of Yogyakarta International Airport, who stated that the airport\nhas prepared a command post that will operate in full on 11 March 2026,\nwith 669 personnel involved. \u201cWe anticipate the peak in mudik flow on 13\nMarch,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
