The Gujarat government has approved a proposal to allot a 978-square-metre plot owned by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) to former India cricketer Yusuf Pathan, with 500 square metres to be gifted to him for residential use and the remaining portion transferred at a concessional rate. The plot, located in the Tandalja area of Vadodara, has an estimated market value of Rs 20.53 crore. Under the approved proposal, Pathan will receive 500 square metres as a gift, while the remaining 478 square metres will be transferred at 55% of the valuation determined by the Vadodara Urban Development Authority (VUDA) valuation committee.
However, the allotment is not yet final. The proposal must be considered by the VMC Standing Committee and subsequently receive approval from the civic body's general board.
