Jantar Mantar Loses Protest Site Status As Delhi Police Names 3 Alternatives | CJP

Delhi Police has issued a standing order stating that Jantar Mantar will no longer be a designated protest site, proposing Ramlila Maidan, Burari and Narela as alternatives. The move comes amid the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) demand to hold a demonstration against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. According to the proposed framework, different grounds will accommodate crowds of varying sizes. While police cite security, traffic and public order concerns, critics may question whether relocating protests farther from Parliament reduces their visibility. The decision could reshape Delhi’s protest landscape.
