India’s government orders handover of exclusive Delhi Gymkhana Club
India's government has ordered the Delhi Gymkhana Club, a prestigious private institution, to vacate its premises within two weeks. This decision is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ongoing efforts to challenge traditional elite institutions in the country. The government cites urgent public interest needs, particularly related to defense and security infrastructure, as the reason for the takeover.

- ▪The government has given the club until June 5 to vacate its site in New Delhi.
- ▪The land is needed for strengthening defense infrastructure and public security purposes.
