In June and July 2025, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi emphasized environmental restoration and infrastructure challenges in the region. He committed to restoring rivers and rice fields misused for illegal settlements and businesses, and planned to dismantle semi-permanent buildings on water bodies in Bekasi. Dedi highlighted environmental degradation threatening neighboring provinces such as Banten and Jakarta, and linked infrastructure damage in Parung Panjang to rapid urban development in Jakarta and Tangerang. He also engaged the Indonesian Navy Marines to protect riverbanks across West Java and addressed a clean water crisis in Karawang. Additionally, Dedi proposed renaming West Bandung Regency due to branding difficulties and suggested demolishing the Teras Cihampelas area in Bandung, citing congestion and unpleasant odors, though the Bandung mayor decided to retain it after thorough evaluations. Meanwhile, severe flooding affected multiple Indonesian regions in early July 2025. Mataram City in Nusa Tenggara Barat experienced floods up to 2.5 meters high due to extreme rainfall, with 4.2 billion liters of water falling in under six hours, causing evacuations and impacting elite residential areas. Jakarta faced ongoing flooding with 52 to 58 neighborhood units (RT) and two road segments submerged as of July 8. Governor Pramono Anung apologized to affected residents and directed immediate flood response efforts, including cleaning drainage systems. The Bekasi area also reported flooding in 23 villages with water levels reaching one meter. In Tangerang's Ciledug district, persistent flooding remained a concern, prompting coordination between Banten Governor Andra Soni and the central government for mitigation. The West Java provincial government, led by Dedi Mulyadi, instructed local authorities in the greater Jakarta area to normalize rivers, rehabilitate critical land, and prevent land use changes to address flooding issues. Additionally, Jakarta plans to resume operations of the Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) waste processing facility in Rorotan, North Jakarta, by August 22, 2025. Environmental enforcement was underscored after a deadly landslide in Bogor, where illegal construction in landslide-prone areas was condemned.
