Irjen Agus Suryonugroho, the head of the Indonesian Traffic Police (Kakorlantas), has stated that the post-Eid al-Fitr (Lebaran) return flow on the Trans-Java Toll Road is under control. Various measures have been taken to ensure the safety and comfort of travelers returning after the Eid holidays. Traffic adjustments, such as local one-way systems, have been implemented to manage the influx of vehicles heading towards Jakarta. It is predicted that the peak of the return flow will occur on Sunday (April 6).
Agus, along with Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi and the President Director of the state-owned insurance company PT Jasa Raharja, Rivan Purwantono, inspected the situation near the Banyumanik Toll Gate in Central Java on Saturday (April 5). Agus reported to the press while accompanying the visit of the Chief of the National Police (Kapolri) and the Minister of Transportation to the area.
