UD ministry sends eviction notice to Gymkhana Club

The government has issued an eviction notice to the Delhi Gymkhana Club, citing its "unauthorised occupation of public premises" after the land lease expired on May 22. The Land and Development Office is seeking an explanation for why eviction proceedings shouldn't commence, invoking the Public Premises Act. The 27.3-acre land is deemed critically needed for defence, public security, and other public-interest projects.
