The historic Jantar Mantar site in central Delhi, long utilized as a primary location for public demonstrations and protests, has been officially removed from the list of approved protest venues. Authorities have confirmed that the site will no longer be available for such activities, citing the need to manage public order in the high-security zone.

In place of Jantar Mantar, the Delhi administration has designated three new locations for public gatherings. While the government maintains that these new sites are equipped to handle protests, the transition marks a significant shift in the city's approach to public assembly. The decision effectively ends the use of a site that has been a focal point for activists and various interest groups for years. The government has not provided specific details regarding the logistical capacity of the new sites compared to the central location at Jantar Mantar, nor have they detailed the specific security concerns that prompted this immediate change in policy.
