Vadodara Municipal Plot Linked to Yusuf Pathan Set for Auction at Rs 20.5 Crore
A 978 square-metre municipal plot in Vadodara's Tandalja area, initially proposed for allotment to former cricketer and TMC MP Yusuf Pathan in 2012 at about Rs 5.6 crore, is now valued at approximately Rs 20.5 crore and set for public auction by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation. The allotment was stalled after the state's Urban Development Department mandated a public bidding process. Pathan currently has time from the Gujarat High Court to seek relief under a policy for international sportspersons before the auction proceeds.
