Central Govt Seizes Air Force Golf Course Near PM Awas, Accelerates Land Reclamation

The Land and Development Office under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has announced the closure of the Air Force golf course situated close to PM Awas, the Delhi Race Club and Jaipur Polo Ground.\n\nThe decision comes as part of a broader effort to reclaim government land that has been underutilized for years. Officials say the reclaimed plots will be repurposed for public housing and infrastructure projects.\n\nThe closure was effected without prior notice to the Air Force, prompting questions about coordination between defence and civilian authorities. The ministry has assured that all legal procedures will be followed before the land is handed over to the public sector.\n\nLocal residents and housing developers have welcomed the move, citing the need for affordable housing in the rapidly expanding capital region.
