NewzThe Supreme Court of India has sought responses from the Centre and Delhi authorities regarding a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that questions the suitability of Jantar Mantar as a venue for protests.
The petitioner highlighted Jantar Mantar's lack of basic amenities and unsuitability for holding demonstrations, while also raising concerns about potential marches and police actions taken to prevent them. In response to these concerns, the court noted the site's inadequate facilities for protesters.
The PIL ultimately seeks the establishment of officially designated protest sites in the capital, prompting the judiciary to intervene and demand official replies from the government and local authorities.
