Jantar Mantar de-notified as designated protest venue, new sites allocated
Jantar Mantar as a protest venue has been de-notified, stated a Delhi Police circular on Monday, listing three new venues for holding demonstrations.
Following the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) Monday announcement of a 24-hour ultimatum to Delhi Police regarding a protest at Jantar Mantar, the site has lost its status as a designated protest venue. The Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, had formed a committee to identify alternative locations for citizens' rights to organize protests.
Consequently, Jantar Mantar is now de-notified, while three new venues have been designated: Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground, and CBD Ground in East Delhi. The Delhi Police are expected to issue revised Standard Operating Procedures for organizing protests at these venues.
CJP Co-Convenor Saurav Das emphasized that peaceful protest is a constitutional right, and people will continue exercising it. The party left the decision of date and time for the proposed demonstration to Delhi Police. Das stated that people would continue holding peaceful protests, and the police should not indefinitely keep the matter pending.
