New Delhi, Jun 13 (PTI) Officials of the Land & Development Office under the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry on Saturday took physical possession of the 15.20-acre Jaipur Polo Ground in the Race Course area of the national capital, officials said.
The development follows a May 20 eviction order under which the L&DO sought possession of the land parcel, citing its need for a “larger public purpose and benefit”.
The order, however, offered no details about the intended use of the land.
On June 8, the Delhi High Court asked a district court to decide on a plea by the Indian Polo Association seeking a stay on the eviction notice. However, the district court declined to grant interim relief against the order. PTI BUN RHL
