Nearly a year after the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) decided to return three plots acquired for road-widening to their owners due to its inability to pay compensation, the civic body Thursday began the process of “breaking the road” prior to returning the plots.
The move comes only days after the HC directed the civic body to compensate Nikitin Contractor, owner of one of the plots, for its acquisition.
The plots were acquired in 2017 to widen the lane from 15 metres to 30 metres on the Faramji road on the Alkapuri end of the Vadodara railway station.
