Jantar Mantar Is No Longer A 'Protest Site' I Big Setback For Abhijeet Dipke & CJP | Dr. Manish Kr

In a major development for public demonstrations in the national capital, Jantar Mantar has officially ceased to function as a designated protest site. Following a crucial directive issued by the Union Home Ministry, the Delhi Police implemented this restriction citing serious security concerns and administrative challenges. For decades, Jantar Mantar served as the central hub for activists, political groups, and citizens to voice their grievances. To accommodate future demonstrations without compromising public safety and traffic flow, authorities have designated three alternative venues across the city. Protesters can now hold gatherings at Ramlila Maidan, Burari Maidan, and CBD Ground in Shahdara. This decision marks a significant shift in the capital's public assembly regulations, impacting prominent social commentators and organizations like CJP who frequently utilize these spaces for raising civic and political issues.
