Centre Takes Possession of Delhi Race Club Premises, Demolition Begins
The Centre took possession of the Delhi Race Club's 53.242-acre premises near the Prime Minister's residence after courts dismissed the club's pleas to stay eviction orders. The lease had remained unrenewed since 1994, and the property was handed over to the Central Public Works Department for maintenance. Demolition began shortly after possession, ending horse racing at the historic venue. The club's main appeal against eviction is scheduled for September 26, with arrangements underway for relocating remaining horses.
