Student protests at Jantar Mantar lead to calls for relocation
Thousands of students gathered at Jantar Mantar for a protest that entered its sixth day. The protests, which have drawn parallels to global movements and film inspirations, have led to discussions about the future of such demonstrations at the site. A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking to halt protests at Jantar Mantar, with a hearing expected soon. Some reports also addressed misinformation regarding injured students at the protest site.
