National Police Confirm All Parties Ready to Secure Safe Eid Exodus Passage
CIKAMPEK — National Police Traffic Law Enforcement Chief (Kakorlantas Polri) Senior Police Commissioner Agus Suryonugroho has stated that all stakeholders have prepared various measures and contingency scenarios to ensure the 2026 Eid exodus and return journey proceed safely and securely. These preparations were finalised through inter-agency coordination at the National Police Traffic Command Centre (Korlantas Polri) Command Centre at Km 29 of the Jakarta–Cikampek toll road on Thursday (12 March 2026).
The Command Centre at Km 29 functions as an integrated technology-based control hub to monitor, analyse, and manage traffic flow in real time across toll routes, arterial roads, and cross-border routes. This facility serves as the coordination point for traffic control during Operation Ketupat 2026.
“All stakeholders have certainly taken action measures, including various scenarios, to ensure the state provides guarantees for all exodus and return journeys. This includes ensuring the social and spiritual momentum of the holy month of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and the celebration of Nyepi all proceed safely and securely,” said Agus at the Km 29 Command Centre on Friday (13 March 2026).
Agus explained that various preparations have been undertaken together with several parties, including the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Public Works, PT Jasa Marga, PT Jasa Raharja, and various other stakeholders involved in securing the exodus passage.
This coordination ensures that all elements of public service, traffic management, and security operate in an integrated manner throughout the exodus and return period during this year’s Eid festivities.
“Operation Ketupat with the National Police Chief’s tagline of ‘Safe Exodus, Happy Family’ must proceed according to plan. It is not merely about traffic management or handling exodus and return journeys, but also ensuring that the social and spiritual momentum of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Nyepi remains safe from crime and operates smoothly in terms of traffic,” said Agus.
Agus regarded the exodus journey as an important occasion for people to gather with family in their hometowns. Therefore, the state is working to ensure the journeys proceed safely until the travellers return to their respective postings.
“The state has the extraordinary objective of ensuring that people travelling to their hometowns arrive safely. Operation Ketupat is the people’s longing journey to their hometowns. After arriving, they must also return to their postings safely and happily,” said Agus.
The agenda at the Km 29 Command Centre also included a joint prayer session led by Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi. The activity was attended by several officials from various agencies, including Jasa Marga Chief Executive Officer Rivan A. Purwantono, Jasa Raharja Chief Executive Officer Muhammad Awaluddin, and the Director of Road Traffic at the Transport Ministry Rudi Irawan.
Agus noted that the National Police Traffic units have begun standing by in the field to monitor vehicle movements during the exodus period. “We are already deployed this evening and stationed at all points to monitor traffic flow, as well as maintain public order and security,” said the Kakorlantas.
Agus hopes that the series of preparations undertaken with stakeholders can support the smooth implementation of Operation Ketupat 2026. The joint prayer session at the Command Centre also served to strengthen the resolve for the entire series of exodus security measures to proceed smoothly and provide a sense of security for the public.
