Operation Ketupat in the context of prohibiting the Lebaran homecoming starts early Thursday (5/5/2021). Hundreds of thousands of joint personnel were deployed during the two weeks of the operation.

As preparation, INP held a rally for the Ketupat Operation troop at the Metro Jaya Regional Police. Commander of Traffic Police Corps, Inspector General Istiono, who led the rally, emphasized that the operation provided a sense of security and comfort for the community to avoid the Coronavirus.
