The Supreme Court has sought the Union and Delhi governments' response on a plea challenging the use of Jantar Mantar as a protest site.
The petitioner, Satish Chand Kaushik, argued that the venue is no longer suitable for protests due to public safety concerns and lack of basic amenities.
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant termed the issue important and asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to take instructions from the Centre.
The petition points out issues with entry and exit, especially during medical emergencies.
It also mentions inadequate drinking water and other facilities for protesters.
