Vadodara Civic Body Approves Land Allotment to Yusuf Pathan Amid Protests
The Vadodara Municipal Corporation's standing committee approved allotting a 978-square-metre plot to former cricketer and MP Yusuf Pathan, gifting 500 square metres and selling the rest at a concessional rate. The decision followed a government proposal and faced protests from Congress workers alleging preferential treatment. Pathan, who left TMC to join a new party, had earlier received an encroachment notice on the land. Separately, a proposal seeks land for cricketer Radha Yadav to establish a cricket academy in Vadodara.
