Delhi Police has removed Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site and named three alternative venues. The new sites are Ramlila Ground in Old Delhi, CBD Ground in East Delhi and Burari Ground in North Delhi. The move comes amid a dispute with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over permission for a peaceful protest. The party has demanded a date for its demonstration and an explanation for the restrictions. Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court will hear a plea challenging the closure of Jantar Mantar on October 13. Police will issue new rules for protests at the alternative venues.
