The Union Home Ministry announced a temporary suspension of mobile internet services within a 1.5-km radius of Jantar Mantar from 4 pm to midnight on July 23, citing public safety and public order as reasons amid ongoing protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party. The order emphasizes preventing incitement and maintaining law and order as central Delhi witnessed heightened tensions, with reports of violence that injured police personnel. Telecom operators reportedly disabled mobile data services in central Delhi, affecting digital payments and daily commerce, while vendors and merchants faced disrupted transactions. The disruption extended to transit hubs, with the Delhi Metro announcing the closure of multiple stations to manage crowds and security in the protest zone, and traders in Connaught Place shutting shops by early evening. The protests have drawn political attention, including opposition leaders and allies meeting at Gandhi Smriti amid the crackdown, highlighting tensions between demonstrators' demands and government actions. Across the affected area, authorities implemented checks and advisories through NDTA and NDMC to manage the security situation and protect public safety.
