Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has urged the public to\nmake use of the Work From Anywhere (WFA) policy in effect from 25-27\nMarch 2026. This policy is expected to serve as an option for returnees\nto avoid being caught in the density of the peak first-wave return\nflow.<\/p>\n
This was conveyed by General Sigit after leading a video conference\nmonitoring tourist sites and national return flow readiness from the 91\nCommand Center in Nusa Dua, Bali, on Tuesday (24\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
The Police Chief explained that the government has provided\nflexibility through the WFA scheme to ensure that the burden on highways\nduring the return flow is more distributed and does not pile up at one\ntime.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are providing relaxation. Besides the peak return flow today on\nthe 24th, on the 25th, 26th, and 27th March, there is a government\npolicy for WFA. This can be an option for the public so that not\neveryone chooses to return today, thus it is hoped that it can ease the\npeak return flow,\u201d stated General Sigit.<\/p>\n
On this occasion, General Sigit also presented evaluation data on the\n2026 homecoming flow. Although the number of returnees this year has\nseen a significant increase, the traffic accident (laka lantas) rate and\nfatality level have shown a downward trend.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe accident rate and fatality rate have decreased. Of course, this\nis our emphasis so that until the entire return flow series is\ncompleted, these figures can be maintained,\u201d emphasised the former Head\nof Criminal Investigation.<\/p>\n
In addition to focusing on traffic management, the Police Chief also\nissued special instructions regarding the potential for bad weather,\nparticularly in eastern Indonesia, which could impact crossing\nroutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is potential for rain in the eastern region; this is a note.\nWe ask all members to really prepare themselves to face it if bad\nweather occurs, so that engineering and arrangements can be better,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n
The Police Chief stressed that the success of securing the homecoming\nand return flow is the result of collaboration from all parties. He\nappreciated the synergy between the Indonesian National Police (Polri),\nthe Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), and all related\nagencies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe success of this homecoming and return service is a collective\nsuccess. We always encourage synergy and collaboration so that the best\nservice can be provided to the public,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
In this 91 Command Center agenda, Bali Deputy Governor I Nyoman Giri\nPrasta was present, along with Bali\u2019s Regional Leadership Coordination\nForum (Forkopimda), including Bali Police Chief Inspector General Daniel\nAdityajaya and Udayana Regional Military Commander Major General TNI\nPiek Budyakto. Representatives from the Ministry of Transportation,\nNational Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), Meteorology, Climatology,\nand Geophysics Agency (BMKG), and PT Jasa Raharja were also in\nattendance. This synergy demonstrates the compactness of all\nstakeholders in escorting Operation Ketupat 2026.<\/p>\n
