The three new sites designated for holding protests vary considerably in size and location, with Burari Ground offering much more space in North Delhi, while the CBD Ground is situated in a busy commercial area in East Delhi.
Earlier, the Delhi Police listed three new venues for holding demonstrations after it denotified Jantar Mantar as the protest site. The three new sites that were designated for protest are CBD Ground, Ramlila Ground, and Burari Ground.
The CBD Ground, situated in a busy commercial area in Shahdara, is maintained by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA). Spread over 12 acres, it adjoins Vikas Marg, a vital arterial road in East Delhi that connects the Trans-Yamuna region to Central Delhi via ITO Bridge.
The ground regularly hosts cultural events. However, its location in a densely developed commercial and residential neighbourhood has raised concerns about the potential impact of protests on nearby communities and businesses.
