In this ground report, The Hindu follows the roads leading to Jantar Mantar, which were turned into a maze of barricades, security checkpoints, and heavy deployment of the Delhi Police and central armed police forces under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. Normal traffic across major stretches such as Barakhamba Road, Janpath, Connaught Place and Tolstoy Marg remained severely disrupted, with commuters, auto drivers and protesters facing extensive checks and detentions. Demonstrators reported making long detours on foot, facing internet curbs stretching up to six kilometres from the site, and concealing their identities to reach the venue. Journalists reported facing restrictions on media access at several intersections. 00:00 Introduction 01:11 ITO 01:47 Barakhamba Road 03:43 Impact on livelihoods 04:11 Tolstoy Marg 05:32 Connaught Place 06:47 Sansad Marg Intersection 08:32 Indira Chowk #jantarmantar #protest #gyaneshkumar #cjp #delhipolice Thank you for watc
