PM Modi’s School Mate Vohra Gets Major Relief 'Land Dispute'

In a major development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s school friend, Asgar Ali Vohra, has secured significant relief in a 15-year-old land dispute.

 BJP MLA Narendra Mehta’s construction firm has announced that it will vacate the disputed land in Bhayandar and surrender its construction permits. 

81-year-old Asgar Ali Vohra, a resident of Mira Road near Mumbai, Maharashtra, recently met his schoolmate PM Narendra Modi. Mira Road resident Asgarali Vohra said he attended BN School in Vadnagar along with the 75-year-old PM. Vohra had alleged that a construction company owned by BJP MLA Narendra Mehta had illegally occupied his land in Bhayandar. 

Days after the



meeting, Mehta announced on Tuesday that he is giving up possession of the disputed plot and withdrawing the construction permission granted for it. Mehta added that he is also withdrawing a prior complaint filed against Vohra.

Vohra met the Prime Minister on September 8 to request his intervention in the matter. Vohra stated that he had purchased approximately 2,810 square meters of land in the Navghar area of Bhayandar (East) in 1989. 

However, in 2011, 'Swayam Builders' and Mehta's 'Seven Eleven Constructions' took over the plot. Vohra had been pursuing the matter with various government agencies for the past 15 years and noted that he received a positive response during his meeting with the Prime Minister.
