Uttarakhand CM responds to Rishabh Pant’s land request

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has reacted to a plea by cricketer Rishabh Pant for help in purchasing land to build a house in his home state and has issued instructions to officials concerned to tackle the issue as per the rules and assist the India wicketkeeper-batter.

Pant made his plea in a social media post around midnight, tagging CM Dhami and seeking help in buying land in the hills to build his first house as he wants to shift his base from Delhi.

“Dear Rishabh, you are



the pride of Uttarakhand. Through your magnificent sporting performance and achievements, you have brought glory to ‘Devbhoomi’ on both the national and global stages. Your love for your homeland and your desire to return and contribute here are truly commendable,” Chief Minister Dhami said in a reply to Pant’s post.

“Instructions are being issued to the concerned officials regarding the matter you raised. They will contact you shortly to ensure all possible assistance in accordance with the rules,” CM Dhami added.
