Police to enforce West Java governor's ban on blocking roads for private events

The West Java Provincial Government has taken decisive action regarding the use of public facilities. The Governor of West Java, Dedi Mulyadi (KDM), has officially prohibited the use of provincial road sections for private interests, including as locations for wedding parties or community celebrations.

This prohibition is outlined in an official circular from the Road and Bridge Management UPTD (Regional Service VI) of the Department of Highways and Spatial Planning (DBMPR) of West Java Province, which has been delivered to the Indramayu Police Resort.

In the letter signed by the Head of UPTD, Boy Bob Agustan Nyinang, the provincial government requested synergy from the police to extensively educate the community regarding the new rule.

Responding to the instruction, the Head of Community Policing at Indramayu Police, Iptu Tasim, emphasised that the force is ready to act swiftly to conduct socialisation across all levels of society.

“We have received the circular. As a follow-up, we will immediately engage with the community to socialise this prohibition,” said Tasim on Saturday (20/06/2026).

Tasim expressed his support for the Governor’s policy. According to him, blocking highways for event tents is a phenomenon that causes losses to many parties.
