The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Delhi Police have dismissed social media rumours claiming Jantar Mantar has been closed to protests, calling them false and misleading.
- The police clarified that Jantar Mantar remains an authorised site for peaceful demonstrations under Supreme Court orders, with a maximum of 1,000 persons permitted at the venue.
- Permission is granted on formal application by organisers, subject to prescribed terms and conditions.
