Jakarta — The Head of the National Police’s Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas Polri), Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, has assured the public that the state is committed to guaranteeing the safety of homebound travellers during Operation Ketupat 2026.

He made this statement whilst attending a meeting with transportation experts in preparation for Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah at the Jasa Raharja office in Jakarta on Wednesday, 11 March.

“Operation Ketupat is a humanitarian operation. The state is present not merely to regulate traffic or oversee the flow of homebound and return travellers, but also to safeguard the social and spiritual momentum of society throughout the sacred month of Ramadhan through to Eid al-Fitr,” he stated.

To ensure the success of Operation Ketupat 2026, Agus emphasised the importance of synergy and collaboration with all stakeholders, as well as the utilisation of technology as a parameter for establishing traffic engineering strategies.

“The key phrase of Operation Ketupat is safety, along with collaboration and synergistic efforts from all parties,” he said.

“Our objective is straightforward: to ensure that people travelling home for the holidays arrive safely and happily in their hometowns, and that when they return, they also get back safely to their respective places,” he added.

The meeting was also attended by Jasa Raharja Chief Executive Muhammad Awaluddin, Jasa Raharja Institutional Relations Director Dewi Aryani Suzana, Ministry of Transport Road Traffic Director Rudi Irawan, and University of Indonesia Transportation Expert Tri Tjahjono.
