Delhi Police De-Notifies Jantar Mantar, Names Three New Protest Venues
Delhi Police has de-notified Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site, following recommendations from a Ministry of Home Affairs committee. Three new venues—Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground, and CBD Ground in East Delhi—have been designated for protests. The decision aims to balance democratic rights with security and traffic concerns. Opposition groups like the Cockroach Janta Party criticized the move as limiting protest rights, while authorities cite logistical reasons. The new sites face challenges including limited availability and higher booking costs.
