Months after NDA switch, Yusuf Pathan clears final hurdle to get land in Vadodara he eyed since 2012

Former Indian cricketer and Lok Sabha MP Yusuf Pathan has finally secured a 978-square-metre municipal plot in Vadodara, Gujarat, after a 14-year legal battle. The Standing Committee of the BJP-ruled Vadodara Municipal Corporation unanimously approved the allotment, following the Gujarat government's approval on August 13. The plot, located in Tandalja area, will be divided with 500 square metres being gifted to Pathan for residential use and the remaining 478 square metres at a concessional rate.

The allotment is under the Urban/Area Development Authorities (Disposal of Land and Other Properties) Regulations, 2002, and is a significant step in Pathan's long-standing fight for the land.
