Jantar Mantar Denotified as Protest Site in Second Busiest Year Since 2016
In 2026, Jantar Mantar in New Delhi was denotified as a designated protest site by Delhi Police, despite witnessing its second highest number of demonstrations since 2016. The site, located about two kilometers from Parliament, hosted over 600 free protests in the past decade. The decision follows a Supreme Court order, with newer protest sites being farther and financially constrained.
