The Gujarat government has allotted a land plot to former cricketer Yusuf Pathan, fulfilling a request he made after quitting the Trinamool Congress two months earlier.

Yusuf Pathan, a former all‑rounder who represented India in limited‑overs cricket, had publicly expressed interest in acquiring a specific plot of land for personal use. The state government’s decision fulfills that long‑standing request.
The land grant underscores Gujarat’s practice of extending support to sports personalities, though details such as the plot’s size or exact location were not disclosed in the announcement.
No further comments were released by either the Gujarat authorities or Pathan’s representatives at the time of reporting.
