Rishabh Pant Appeals to Uttarakhand CM for Land to Build Home; CM Promises Assistance
India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant publicly appealed to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for assistance in acquiring land to build his first home in his native state. Pant, currently in Sri Lanka with the national team, said he has struggled for three years to find suitable land and expressed his desire to return to Uttarakhand to be closer to his roots and contribute to the region. Dhami responded by praising Pant and assuring that officials will provide all possible help following applicable rules. Pant clarified he intends to purchase the land at government rates rather than seeking a gift.
