Ramlila, Burari and CBD Grounds replace Jantar Mantar for demonstrations
What Happened
The Jantar Mantar protest site has been de-notified by Delhi Police through a Standing Order issued by Anurag Kumar, Commissioner of Police, on October 11. Three new venues have been designated for protests and demonstrations: Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground and CBD Ground in Shahdara/East Delhi. The decision follows recommendations of a committee set up by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Key Takeaways
The move ends Jantar Mantar's status as Delhi's primary designated protest site and shifts demonstrations to alternative locations across the city. Delhi Police said revised SOPs for holding protests at the new venues will be issued separately.
