Indian cricket team wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has publicly appealed to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for assistance after encountering persistent difficulties in acquiring land for a home in his native state. Pant recently emerged as the top individual taxpayer in Uttarakhand for the previous financial year, having deposited approximately ₹28 crore in income tax. Despite his substantial contribution to the state exchequer, the star athlete has spent the last three years searching for a suitable plot without success.
A Three-Year Search from Delhi
Although currently residing in Delhi due to his professional cricket commitments, Rishabh Pant has maintained deep roots in Uttarakhand and remains keen to build a residence there. For over three years, he has been attempting to secure land from afar, but finding an appropriate location has proven to be an uphill task. Expressing his frustration over the prolonged delay, Pant reached out directly to the head of the state government to request intervention.
Public Appeal to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami
Taking to social media platform X, Rishabh Pant shared his predicament in a message addressed to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. He highlighted his affection for Uttarakhand and explained that despite being a native of the state, he has been unable to locate a proper piece of land to build a house. His message emphasized how long the process has been taking while reaffirming his love for his home state.
Expectations of Swift Administrative Action
Given Rishabh Pant's status as a prominent international sportsman and the state's highest taxpayer, his public plea has drawn widespread attention. Fans and local residents expect state authorities to promptly address the issue and facilitate the necessary clearances so that the cricketer can establish his home in Uttarakhand.
