Jantar Mantar Denotified as Protest Site, Police Names Three New Venues
Police will issue revised protest rules for the three new sites after revoking Jantar Mantar’s designation, following a Home Ministry committee recommendation.
- On Monday, October 12, 2026, the Delhi Police announced that Jantar Mantar has been de-notified as a designated protest venue, revoking its authorization under Standing Order No. L&O/48/22 from April 28, 2022.
- A Ministry of Home Affairs committee examined alternate protest locations and recommended the change, prompting this partial amendment to the earlier standing order governing demonstration sites.
- Three new sites have been designated for protests: Ramlila Maidan, Burari Maidan, and CBD Ground in East Delhi, with revised Standard Operating Procedures to be issued separately.
- This regulatory change follows large-scale demonstrations by The Cockroach Janata Party at Jantar Mantar, where the party demanded resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over NEET and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
- Authorities have indicated that detailed, revised Standard Operating Procedures governing the three new venues will be released soon to regulate future protest activities at the newly designated locations.
