Jantar Mantar volunteers clean protest site after CJP exit

Volunteers cleaned the Jantar Mantar protest site on Saturday after the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) withdrew its agitation and supporters gathered to celebrate Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation, The Indian Express reported.

Outside Gate 2 of the Jantar Mantar Metro station, volunteers formed a human chain, put on gloves and collected litter in black garbage bags. One volunteer called to people nearby: “We all know how to clean. Could you please step inside (the human chain)?”

The cleanup followed more than a month of occupation at the site, according to the report. The CJP protest was withdrawn after Pradhan’s resignation, with the outlet’s live coverage reporting that the movement called off its demonstration “in good faith.”

What remains unverified
