Women at Jantar Mantar protest struggle for toilets, water as basic facilities remain out of reach

Women protesting at Jantar Mantar struggle to access toilets and water after water supply to the site was cut and nearby washrooms became inaccessible.

Protesters like Harishma from Bengaluru report having to leave the site to use washrooms, making it difficult to stay for long hours.

A volunteer doctor described using a washroom during her period on her first day as horrible and unbearable; doctors previously used Janpath Metro area restaurants, but shops closed early.

Food donations for protesters are not reaching them due to strict checkpoints and restrictions around the protest site.

Lack of basic facilities has disrupted medical camps treating dehydration and injuries; medical staff must trek nearly two kilometers to the nearest restroom, leaving camps unattended.
