لاہور جمخانہ 117 ایکڑ سرکاری اراضی کے لیے 417 روپے ماہانہ کرایہ ادا کرتا ہے۔ گزشتہ 111 سالوں میں کلب نے کل 2.68 لاکھ روپے بطور کرایہ ادا کیا ہے۔ انہیں کتنی ادائیگی کرنی چاہئے؟ ایک حالیہ تخمینہ کے مطابق، یہ ماہانہ 30 کروڑ روپے تک ہو سکتا ہے۔

For the first time in more than a century, the management of the Lahore Gymkhana Club might actually have to pay rent for the 117 acres that the colonial era golf club is housed on.

It is not exactly a secret that Gymkhana basically pays nothing even though it operates on land owned by the Punjab government and given to them through a lease. The understanding has always been that since Gymkhana is a grand old institution, the free use of public land is essentially a privilege that comes with the legacy.

But this opinion seems to have waned over time, especially since over the years the club has become increasingly more exclusive. New memberships are rarely given out and even old political families have had a hard time getting second-sons, grandsons and son-in-laws trouble getting in. Perhaps that is why in recent times the club has seen some of its influence falter. Nothing is more evident of that than a new committee of the Punjab Assembly that has been constituted to rethink the relationship between the provincial government and the club. The only question is, will they be able to do anything about it?
