Members and employees of the Delhi Gymkhana Club (DGC) are preparing to file legal petitions against a government order requiring the club to vacate its 27.3-acre premises by June 5. The order, issued by the Land and Development Office (L&DO), cites the club's location in a 'highly sensitive and strategic area' for defense infrastructure as the reason for the eviction. However, club members, including senior advocate and Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi, contest this reasoning, arguing that the club has operated without security issues for decades. The impending eviction has raised concerns about the livelihood of around 600 employees and the future of the club, which has been a part of New Delhi's heritage since the 1930s. Public figures, including Kiran Bedi, have criticized the government's decision, emphasizing the club's historical and cultural significance. The club's General Committee has also urged the government to reconsider the order and ensure the protection of employees. As members prepare to challenge the eviction, they are collecting signatures for the petitions, reflecting widespread discontent over the sudden decision.
