The Delhi Gymkhana Club is one of the oldest and most elite private clubs in India. AdvertisementAdvertisementMembers of the Delhi Gymkhana — one of the oldest private clubs in India — are trying to wrest back control after India's far-right government seized it in 2022. The club was first established by British colonists in 1913 as a sporting club called the Imperial Delhi Gymkhana, according to its website . Some of the club's members say that the government takeover is part of the BJP's broader agenda to control the country's social institutions. Ajai Shukla, a former army colonel, said the takeover reflects motivations to control "instruments of privilege and hand them out as favors."

☆ Italy to crack down on e-scooters after deaths and accidents
  + stars: | 2023-06-27 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Like in many European countries, the use of e-scooters has boomed across Italy in recent years, with rental companies flooding major cities with scooters for rent that are popular with locals and tourists alike. However, police have reported countless accidents, with six people dying in Rome alone over the past two years while riding scooters. Scooters have also caused problems for pedestrians, with no rules in place for where they should be left. Despite offering an environmentally friendly way to get around town, e-scooters have faced a backlash from people, who have felt threatened by the zippy, silent machines. There has been no such suggestion in Italy, although various cities have looked to cap the speed limit of scooters and reduce the number of firms that can hire them out.
