Centre Takes Possession of Jaipur Polo Ground in Delhi After Eviction Order
The Central Government took physical possession of the 15.20-acre Jaipur Polo Ground in Delhi's Race Course area following a May 20 eviction order citing the land's use for a "larger public purpose and benefit," though specific plans remain undisclosed. The Indian Polo Association (IPA), which managed the ground, challenged the eviction in court but was denied interim relief by both the Delhi High Court and a sessions court. The government has posted notices warning against unauthorized occupation, emphasizing the land's importance for public and defense-related functions. The IPA has stated it will explore legal options to protect its interests as the dispute continues.
