The Delhi Police on Monday (October 12, 2026) announced that Jantar Mantar has been de-notified as a protest venue. The decision was based on recommendations by a committee formed by the Ministry of Home Affairs to examine alternate proper venues for protests.
“Three new venues viz Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground and CBD Ground, East Delhi have been designated as new venues for organizing protest/demonstrations,” the police said in a statement.
