Police urge travelers leaving for Eid al-Fitr to inform local security officers to ensure their home’s safety. Traffic control schemes have been prepared.

The Chief of Indonesia’s National Police, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, is urging residents leaving for the Eid al-Fitr holiday to inform their local security officers to ensure the safety of their homes while they are away. Reporting to the nearest security officer is important to prevent unwanted incidents or crimes, especially when the house is empty. He also asked the public to inform neighborhood security officers about the condition of the house so they can supervise it more easily. As the holiday nears, an increase in vehicle volume has caused traffic congestion, and the police have prepared several schemes to control traffic and alleviate congestion, such as one-way, contraflow, and odd-even license plate policy implementation. Residents are reminded to obey the rules and directions of field officers to ensure a safe journey without the risk of road accidents. Some local governments have also asked residents leaving for the holiday to report to the security officers to ensure the safety of their homes, and security agencies have been instructed to secure neighborhoods that may be empty during the holiday season.
