Core Event: Meeting and Municipal Hearing
On September 8, 81-year-old Asgarali Vohra, a former classmate of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at B N School in Vadnagar, Gujarat, met the Prime Minister and asked for his intervention in a decades-old land dispute in Navghar, Bhayander East. Following the meeting, the municipal administration recorded the matter and set a hearing for September 16, directing representatives of Swayam Builders and Seven Eleven Constructions to appear.
Background & Context
Vohra purchased approximately 2,810 sq m of land in Navghar through a registered agreement in 1989. He alleges that in 2011 the property was encroached upon by Swayam Builders and Seven Eleven Constructions, a firm linked to BJP MLA Narendra Mehta.
