The Delhi government and police are set to respond to the Supreme Court’s query on a plea seeking an alternative protest site to Jantar Mantar, bringing renewed focus on the long-running debate over balancing the right to protest with the rights of residents and commuters.
The Supreme Court recently agreed to consider the plea, calling it an “important issue” and seeking responses from the Delhi government and police on whether another location can be identified for protests and demonstrations in the national capital.
