        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Polri officially ended Operation Ketupat 2026\non Tuesday (25\/3\/2026) at 24.00. Operation Ketupat had begun on 13 March\n2026. Nevertheless, all police personnel remain deployed in the field to\nanticipate the potential second wave of return traffic. \u201cTonight at\n24.00, based on the directive from the National Police Chief, Operation\nKetupat has been closed. However, the Indonesian National Police\ncontinues to carry out intensified routine activities, or in other\nwords, KRYD (Intensified Routine Activities),\u201d said Head of Traffic\nCorps of Polri Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, in his statement on\nThursday (26\/3\/2026). According to him, this step is taken given that\naround 42 percent of holiday vehicles have yet to return to Jakarta.\nPolri predicts the peak of the second phase of return traffic could\noccur on 29 March 2026. Agus explained that during Operation Ketupat,\nsecurity efforts focused on five main clusters, which continue to be\nmonitored to this day. First, arterial routes that are still\nexperiencing congestion due to local Silaturahmi activities in areas\nsuch as Bandung, Bali, and Greater Malang. Second, toll roads as the\nbackbone of vehicle movement. Polri recorded around 3.5 million vehicles\nleaving Jakarta during the outbound flow, with a projection of 3.4\nmillion vehicles returning. Third, transportation nodes such as the\nMerak-Bakauheni and Ketapang-Gilimanuk ferry crossings, as well as\nairports, stations, and terminals. Fourth, places of worship during the\nEid al-Fitr series up to Nyepi Day, which were reported to have\nproceeded safely and conducively. Fifth, tourist areas that are\ncurrently still crowded with people who have not yet returned to their\nhome cities.<\/p>",
