JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The government has banned those who traveled to their hometowns for the mudik (exodus) tradition during the Idul Fitri holiday from returning to their city of origin. This is in line with the earlier mudik ban. The authorities will tighten security checks on travel routes during the Idul Fitri reverse exodus period.
