CJP's Jantar Mantar Stage Removed After Parliament March; Protesters Say Sit-in Will Continue

Stage Dismantled After March

Authorities removed the stage erected by CJP at Jantar Mantar after the group's march towards Parliament.

The action came amid heightened security arrangements in the national capital following the demonstration.

Protesters Refuse to Leave

Despite the removal of the stage, protest organisers said participants would continue their sit-in.

According to CJP representatives:

  • The protest remains peaceful.

  • Demonstrators will stay at Jantar Mantar.

  • The movement will continue until their demands are addressed.

  • The removal of the stage will not end the campaign.

These statements reflect the organisers' position.

Background of the Protest

The demonstrations have centred on demands linked to activist Sonam Wangchuk and broader concerns relating to Ladakh, including constitutional safeguards, governance, and environmental protection.

The protest has attracted support from several civil society groups and opposition leaders.

Security Measures

Police maintained security around Jantar Mantar and nearby areas to manage the gathering and maintain public order.

Authorities have not indicated whether further action will be taken regarding the continuing sit-in.

Looking Ahead

With protesters indicating they will remain at Jantar Mantar, attention is likely to remain on possible discussions between protest organisers and the government, as well as on how authorities manage the ongoing demonstration.
