# Centre orders Delhi Gymkhana Club to vacate premises by June 5 2026-08-10T23:54:22+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry has ordered the 107-year-old Delhi Gymkhana Club to hand over its 27.3-acre leasehold premises at Safdarjung Road by June 5, citing the need to secure defence infrastructure and other vital public security purposes. The club, located next to the Prime Minister's residence in Lutyens' Delhi, is run by a government-appointed committee. The club's management has sought an urgent appointment with ministry officials and plans to write to the Land and Development Office seeking clarity on the eviction order. Some members have said they will challenge the order in court, arguing they cannot expect the current government-appointed management to do so. The move follows similar eviction notices to the Delhi Race Club and Jaipur Polo Ground. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in - livelaw.in Tags: defence infrastructure, eviction order, Gymkhana Club, L&DO, Lutyens Delhi, Safdarjung Road Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/centre-orders-delhi-gymkhana-club-to-vacate-by-june-5-2/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
