Jantar Mantar denotification: Centre formed panel month after July protest
The Centre formed a panel led by Manoj Kumar Dwivedi to examine alternative protest venues after denotifying Jantar Mantar on October 12. This decision followed a July 20 protest by the Cockroach Janta Party and recommendations from the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Supreme Court is set to hear challenges against this denotification in the coming days.
