The article provides additional details about the denotification of Jantar Mantar as a protest site in Delhi, including the reasons for the move and the alternative venues designated by the police.
The order to denotify Jantar Mantar as a protest site in Delhi was issued by Delhi Commissioner of Police Anurag Kumar on October 11 based on recommendations from a committee constituted by the Union home ministry. The move came amidst protests in the national capital by various political parties, student groups and the Cockroach Janta Party political campaign demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
As alternatives, the Ramlila Ground in Central Delhi, Burari Ground in northern Delhi and CBD Ground in eastern Delhi’s Shahdara area have been designated as venues for protest. The denotification of Jantar Mantar as a protest site could impact the ability of political parties, student groups and other protestors to voice their concerns in the national capital.
Furthermore, according to reports, thousands were arrested by the police far away from Jantar Mantar, raising questions about its legality.
