Delhi denotifies Jantar Mantar as protest site, ending iconic venue for demonstrations

Indian authorities have formally denotified Jantar Mantar, an 18th-century monument in Delhi long used as a protest site, ending its status as a designated venue for demonstrations. The move follows a pattern of tightening restrictions on public assembly in the capital. The change is significant for civil liberties and political expression in India, though its immediate market impact is negligible.
