"We also want to coordinate with the PAN-RB Ministry to make the children's holiday two or three days early so that if they want to go home (not going home) in H-1 but from H-7 or H-8 so as to provide relaxation, or pressure (congestion) is reduced, "he told the media crew,
Budi said during this congestion during Idul Fitri claimed due to the lack of holiday time given by the government. As a result, many people go home and back Lebaran in the time adjacent to the day of H.
The government usually stipulates a two-day leave of absence before and after the day of H. With the count, then there is about a week Lebaran holiday. In that time period, most people will use relatively the same time to go back and forth due to the lack of available holidays.

He hopes that coordination by the government will make the momentum of Lebaran holiday can run smoothly with good preparation.
