Jantar Mantar has officially been de-notified as a designated location for public demonstrations, according to a circular issued by the Delhi Police. The long-standing central venue in the national capital, which has historically hosted numerous political agitations, social campaigns, and public gatherings, will no longer serve as an authorized space for protests.
Alongside the removal of Jantar Mantar from the roster of permitted protest sites, authorities have designated alternative locations across the city where demonstrations will be permitted moving forward. The decision aims to manage public order and traffic flow in central Delhi while providing organized spaces for groups to voice their grievances.
Law enforcement and municipal agencies have maintained a heavy security presence around the vicinity of Jantar Mantar following the policy shift, particularly amid ongoing calls for demonstrations and heightened security protocols. Further details regarding the specific administrative guidelines for the newly allocated protest venues are expected to be released by the authorities.
