Delhi reclaims its Gymkhana. Lahore keeps its elite club for Rs5,000 a year

The historic Delhi Gymkhana Club, once reserved for British officers and later the elite, has been ordered to vacate its land by June 5 due to a legal clause citing public purpose. This decision marks a significant shift in India's approach towards reclaiming state property from exclusive, often controversial, private clubs. Meanwhile, Lahore's elite club remains untouched, despite similar criticisms, highlighting a disparity in enforcement across different regions. This move signifies a broader push towards inclusivity and state control over public spaces.
