National Police Chief Hopes Operation Ketupat 2026 Will Be Safe from Crime and Maintain Smooth Traffic Flow
Bekasi – The Head of the National Police Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas) Polri General Agus Suryonugroho held a joint prayer ceremony for the implementation of Operation Ketupat 2026 at the Command Centre Post KM 29 Cikampek Toll Road, West Java, on Thursday 12 March 2026.
The Command Centre KM 29 of the National Police Traffic Corps functions as an integrated technology-based control centre to monitor, analyse, and manage traffic flow in real-time across toll roads, arterial routes, and crossing lanes.
On this occasion, Kakorlantas expressed hope that the implementation of Operation Ketupat in supporting the Eid homecoming service would proceed smoothly in accordance with the slogan from Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo: “Safe Homecoming, Happy Family”.
“Operation Ketupat with the Police Chief’s slogan ‘Safe Homecoming, Happy Family’ must proceed as planned. It is not only about traffic management, not just about homecoming and return journeys, but ensuring the social and spiritual momentum of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Nyepi remains secure from crime and maintains smooth traffic flow,” said Agus.
Agus revealed that various preparations have been undertaken well in advance in coordination with relevant parties such as the Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Public Works, Jasa Marga, Jasa Raharja, and other stakeholders.
With the preparations undertaken, Operation Ketupat 2026 is expected to run smoothly and replicate the success achieved in previous years.
“The nation has an extraordinary objective as citizens depart for their home villages, because Operation Ketupat is a journey of yearning with the community and longing for home, and upon arrival they must return safely to their destination and safely to their work posts as well,” said Agus.
The joint prayer agenda was also marked by the ceremonial cutting of tumpeng (cone-shaped rice cake) by the Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi, accompanied by Kakorlantas, for orphaned children under the National Police Traffic Corps’ sponsorship programme.
“Therefore, I ask the religious leader to ensure that all proceedings are blessed by God. If 2025 is successful, then 2026 must be enhanced further,” he said.
Following this agenda, Agus stated that he and his team would begin field operations to monitor the movement of homecoming traffic on Thursday evening.
“We are already deployed and on standby at all points this Thursday evening to monitor traffic flow and security and public order,” said Kakorlantas.
