The Delhi High Court expressed grave concerns regarding the Indian government's proposal to reclaim land occupied by the Indian Polo Association (IPA) and the Delhi Gymkhana Club. During a hearing on a plea from the IPA against an eviction notice for the 15.20-acre Jaipur Polo Ground, Justice Neena Bansal Krishna highlighted the critical need for green spaces in Delhi, stating that the capital is already grappling with pollution and diminishing open areas. The court warned that the city's livability is at risk, saying, "Delhi will choke. Whatever little breather we have in the NDMC area is also going away." In response, the Centre's counsel argued that the land is essential for defense infrastructure and public purposes. However, the court questioned whether this would lead to increased construction and the loss of heritage properties. The IPA is challenging the eviction order and has requested a stay, while the court has directed both parties to appear before the District and Sessions Judge for further consideration. The Delhi Gymkhana Club, established in 1913, is also implicated in the Centre's plans for land reclamation.
