        "summary": "The Ministry of Transportation has urged mudik returnees to travel back on 25-27 March 2026 to avoid peak traffic congestion during the Eid al-Fitr period. This recommendation aligns with the government's Work From Anywhere policy for those dates, aiming to reduce vehicle volumes on roads during predicted peak days of 24, 28, and 29 March. The ministry also highlighted the smooth conduct of the 2026 mudik operations and encouraged utilisation of a 30 percent toll discount to facilitate earlier returns.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) has\nurged mudik participants to undertake their return journeys on 25-27\nMarch 2026 to prevent traffic congestion. This was stated by the\nDirector General of Land Transportation, Kemenhub, Aan Suhanan, during\nmonitoring of the security for the Night of Takbir Eid al-Fitr 1447 H at\nthe Promoter Building of Polda Metro Jaya on Friday. \u201cThe peak return\nflow, in line with predictions, is on 24, 28, and 29 March 2026. The\ngovernment has implemented Work From Anywhere (WFA) on 25, 26, and 27\nMarch 2026, so we urge all individuals planning return trips to do so on\nthose dates,\u201d he said. Aan added that this would prevent the public from\nreturning during the peak periods on 24, 28, and 29 March, solely to\nreduce the volume of vehicles on the roads. Meanwhile, Aan noted that\nthe series of 2026 mudik activities has generally proceeded well.\n\u201cTherefore, from the government and the Ministry of Transportation, we\nexpress our thanks and appreciation first to all Indonesian citizens who\nhave contributed and jointly carried out this mudik flow successfully,\u201d\nhe said. The peak return flow for the 2026 Lebaran period or Eid al-Fitr\n1447 Hijriah is predicted to occur on 24 March 2026. Additionally, he\ncontinued, a second wave of the mudik peak is expected on 28-29 March.\nTo anticipate the increase in vehicle volume, he urged the public to\nreturn home on 26 and 27 March by taking advantage of a 30 percent toll\nfare discount.<\/p>",
