The Head of the National Police Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas) General\nAgus Suryonugroho has emphasised that the safety of mudik travellers is\nthe primary priority in the implementation of the 2026 Ketupat\nOperation. This commitment aligns with the 2026 mudik tagline: \u201cSafe\nMudik, Happy Family\u201d.<\/p>\n
He made this statement whilst monitoring the flow of mudik travellers\nfrom the Command Centre Post at KM 29 Cikampek Toll Road, West Java, on\nSunday (15 March 2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cOur main focus in the 2026 Ketupat Operation is to ensure that every\nmudik traveller arrives home safely. For us, one life is invaluable. We\nare not merely managing numbers, but preserving the narrative of longing\nfor millions of families so that it ends with a smile,\u201d said General\nAgus.<\/p>\n
The Traffic Police Chief noted that integrated security efforts\nundertaken together with all stakeholders have demonstrated positive\nresults. Based on data, the fatality rate during this year\u2019s mudik\nperiod has been reduced by 45 percent compared to the previous\nperiod.<\/p>\n
From monitoring of the traffic counting system, vehicles leaving\nJakarta towards various regions have currently only reached\napproximately 25 percent. This means that approximately 75 percent, or\nroughly 3.2 million mudik travellers, are estimated to travel in the\ncoming days.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe remain fully vigilant to guide this large wave of population\nmovement to ensure it remains safe and smooth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In terms of security and public order, reports of notable criminal\nincidents have been nil, whilst conditions at various major transport\nhubs such as Surabaya Gubeng Station and Purabaya Terminal have been\nmonitored as safe and controlled.<\/p>\n
The Traffic Police Chief also assessed that the policy restricting\nvehicles with three or more axles during the mudik period has proven\neffective in providing space for private vehicles and passenger\ntransport, enabling traffic flow to remain smooth.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the National Police Traffic Corps has prepared various\nanticipatory measures through traffic management engineering based on\ntraffic counting data monitored in real-time.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce again, we are here to serve the public. Together, let us\nrealise \u2018Safe Mudik, Happy Family\u2019. Safe journey, safe return,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/national-traffic-police-chief-our-primary-focus-is-ensuring-mudik-travellers-arrive-home-safely-1773568468", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
