Delhi Police Denotifies Jantar Mantar as Protest Site, Proposes Alternative Venues
Delhi Police informed the Supreme Court that Jantar Mantar has been denotified as a designated protest site due to concerns over public safety, limited capacity (around 1,500 people), traffic disruption, and proximity to sensitive government and diplomatic locations. The decision followed recommendations from a Ministry of Home Affairs committee and was made prior to the Court's October 9 order. Authorities proposed alternative venues including Ramlila Maidan, CBD Ground, and Burari Ground to accommodate peaceful protests while ensuring security and public order.
