Protests Will No Longer Be Allowed at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, 3 New Locations Designated

Protests will no longer be allowed at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. 3 new locations have been designated for demonstrations and sit-ins in Delhi. Delhi Police has issued a new order in this regard. Under this order, Ramlila Maidan, Burari Maidan and CBD Ground in East Delhi have been designated for demonstrations and rallies.

According to the Delhi Police order, the Union Home Ministry had formed a committee to identify better locations for protests. The committee was tasked with examining how people could be provided with alternative locations, apart from the existing ones, to raise their demands and express their opposition.

Based on the committee’s recommendations, these three locations, apart from Jantar Mantar, have been designated for protests. The order issued by Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar states that a separate order regarding the rules and arrangements for holding protests at these three locations will also be issued. This order has been issued as a partial amendment to the previous standing order issued on 28 April 2022.(UPDATED ON 12TH OCTOBER 2026)
