MEDAN, North Sumatra: After two days celebrating Idul Fitri, people from rural areas here have begun to return to Medan, the capital of North Sumatra. Hundreds of people flooded bus terminals and railway stations in several regencies in North Sumatra province on Thursday, hoping to reach Medan quickly.

The influx could be observed at railway stations and bus terminals, including those in Kisaran, Rantauprapat and Tanjung Balai regencies.

They returned on Thursday, in order to avoid the main rush, expected on Sunday. -- JP
