        "summary": "Indonesia's National Police have mapped out two peak waves of homebound travel for Eid 2026 (Idul Fitri), occurring on 14\u201315 March and 18\u201319 March, with return journeys expected on 25\u201326 March and 28\u201329 March. The Ministry of Transport projects 143.9 million total journeys, a slight decrease of 1.75 per cent from 2025, though authorities remain vigilant as actual figures often exceed predictions.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia\u2019s Lebaran 2026 will undoubtedly see massive population\nmovement across the nation. Although the number of homebound travellers\nis predicted to decline slightly, the National Police (Polri) have\nalready identified the most critical time windows.<\/p>\n<p>Outbound and return traffic will split into two waves. The first peak\nof outbound travel is estimated to occur on 14\u201315 March 2026, followed\nby a second wave on 18\u201319 March 2026. This period coincides with the\nNyepi (Balinese New Year) holiday, which may affect traffic congestion\nin several regions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis activity overlaps with the Nyepi holiday. The peak return\njourney is also predicted on 25\u201326 March for the first wave and 28\u201329\nMarch for the second wave in 2026,\u201d said Deputy National Police Chief\nCommissioner General Dedi Prasetyo on Monday, 2 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Ministry of Transport survey, the total potential\npopulation movement during Idul Fitri 1447 Hijriah is projected at 143.9\nmillion people, representing a decline compared to the previous\nyear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompared to 2025, when the Ministry of Transport survey recorded\n146.4 million people, we still need to anticipate potential increases in\nactual movement,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The decline of 2.57 million people, or 1.75 per cent, has not\nprompted authorities to ease security measures. Past experience\ndemonstrates that actual field conditions often exceed predictions.<\/p>\n<p>To manage this massive mobility, Operation Ketupat 2026 will run for\n13 days with 161,243 personnel from various agencies. Security efforts\nextend beyond toll roads and arterial routes to cover 185,608 critical\nfacilities.<\/p>\n<p>Mosques, Eid prayer locations, shopping centres, terminals, railway\nstations, ports, airports, and tourist attractions are all priority\nprotection targets.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 2,746 posts have been established, comprising 1,624\nsecurity posts, 779 service posts, and 343 integrated posts. Vehicle\ncustody services at police stations will also be available for those\ntravelling home for Eid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will implement various traffic management measures on toll\nroutes, including odd\u2013even number plates, one-way systems, contraflow,\ndelaying systems, and buffer zones at ports,\u201d Dedi stated.<\/p>\n<p>During an inter-ministerial and inter-agency coordination meeting,\nthe government has confirmed the availability of essential goods and\nadequate fuel supplies throughout the Lebaran holiday period.<\/p>",
