Jantar Mantar has been formally de-notified as a protest venue by Delhi Police based on the recommendations of a committee constituted by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Instead, three venues have been designated in its place: Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground and CBD Ground in East Delhi.
A Standing Order signed by Commissioner of Police Anurag Kumar on October 11 says the Ministry of Home Affairs constituted a committee to examine “alternative proper venues” for citizens to organise protests and demonstrations in place of the existing “designated site”.
