This club has no space for your car
Ludhiana August 21
Satluj Club Ludhiana is claimed to be one of the "elitist" clubs in the country, particularly the north. It has about 2,500 members. The membership is much sought after despite the huge registration fee of Rs 6 lakh. The club membership is flaunted here as a status symbol. But the club has hardly any space for the parking of vehicles of its members.
Vehicles parked haphazardly on both sides of the road outside the Satluj Club, leaving little space for movement of other vehicles.

The atta-dal scheme, initiated by the Badal government seems to have left a bitter taste among the masses of the city.
