IMPORTANT: Jantar Mantar DENOTIFIED as a designated protest site by Home ministry. Now 3 new designated sites are Ram Lila maidan, Burari ground and CBD ground. From Boat Club lawns, protest site was moved to Jantar Mantar in 1990s, now the space for democratic dissent moves even further away from Parliament. Who knows one day we may erase the word ‘protest’ altogether! (By the way, Jantar Mantar was an 18th century observatory designed to monitor planetary and solar movements) Now, it will be just another road in high security Lutyens Delhi. 🙏
