The complex, which includes a nine-hole golf course, swimming pool, basketball and tennis courts, and a gymnasium, is reportedly being reclaimed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) for public purposes. No demolition has been announced yet, but the purpose for reclaiming the land is unclear. This development is part of a series of eviction orders issued by the Centre to high-profile institutions in Lutyens' Delhi.",
