Delhi has removed Jantar Mantar from its list of designated protest sites, marking a major change in how demonstrations and sit-ins can be organised in the national capital. The Delhi Police issued an order, naming three alternative venues: Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground and CBD Ground in East Delhi, as the new protest sites in Delhi. The decision follows days of heightened security in Delhi amid protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which has demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls. The controversy has brought the city's protest arrangements into focus.
