What Happened
Delhi Police has de-notified Jantar Mantar as a designated site for protests. The police have instead designated three new locations for demonstrations: Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground, and CBD Ground in East Delhi.
This change follows a suggestion from the Supreme Court regarding the need for more spacious and open-air protest sites. The Ministry of Home Affairs committee recommended the new sites, leading to the cancellation of the previous notification that recognized Jantar Mantar as a protest venue. Jantar Mantar had been a significant protest site in Delhi for about 33 years, succeeding India Gate's Boat Club.
