The Delhi Gymkhana Club, a historic institution located at 2 Safdarjung Road in New Delhi, is facing a directive from the Indian government to vacate its premises by June 5, 2023. This order has been issued under the premise of urgent public interest and national security, as the site is deemed necessary for enhancing defense infrastructure. In response to this sudden development, the club's Officiating Secretary has reached out to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, seeking an appointment to discuss the implications of the order on club operations and its members. The club, which has been operational since 1913, is regarded as one of the most prestigious clubs in India. The Secretary emphasized that the club's priority is to maintain its operations without disruption and has requested clarity from the Land & Development Office (L&DO) on several issues affecting its members and employees. The club's management is awaiting a response from the ministry before proceeding further.
