The Delhi administration has shifted the officially designated protest venue from Jantar Mantar to three newly identified locations across the capital.
Delhi's administration announced that the designated protest area, previously centred at Jantar Mantar, will now be shifted to three newly identified sites across the city. The decision was communicated through an official statement from the chief minister's office, which said the move is intended to better manage large gatherings and minimise disruption to daily life. Authorities added that the new venues have been selected after assessing crowd‑control requirements and public safety considerations. While the government argues that the relocation will facilitate smoother policing, opposition groups have expressed concerns that the change could limit the visibility of peaceful demonstrations. The shift comes as Delhi continues to host a series of public protests on various national issues.
