Delhi Electoral Roll Revision Advances Amid Protests; Jantar Mantar Loses Protest Site Status

Separately, Delhi Police has removed Jantar Mantar's status as a designated protest site, affecting groups seeking to hold demonstrations there. Additionally, the US suspension of major IT firms from a labor program and rising private hospital costs in India are notable developments discussed.
