Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant’s long-standing wish to own a piece of land in Uttarakhand has received a positive response from Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who has assured the wicketkeeper-batter that the state government will extend all possible assistance within the rules.
Pant, who has strong ties to Uttarakhand, recently raised the issue of acquiring land in the state and expressed his desire to have a permanent connection with his home state.
Dhami Responds to Pant’s Request
Responding to Pant on social media, Dhami praised the cricketer for bringing recognition to Uttarakhand through his achievements on the international cricket stage.
The Chief Minister also highlighted Pant’s emotional attachment to the state and his wish to return and contribute to its development.
Dhami said officials concerned have been instructed to examine Pant’s request and initiate the necessary process.
Officials Asked to Examine Land Request
The Uttarakhand government has now begun looking into the matter. According to Dhami, the concerned officials will contact Pant and provide assistance in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations.
The assurance means Pant’s request will now be formally examined by the state authorities before any decision is taken.
Pant’s Connection With Uttarakhand
Pant has frequently spoken about his association with Uttarakhand and his desire to contribute to the state. Despite his international cricket career taking him across the world, the cricketer has continued to maintain a close emotional connection with his home state.
His latest request for land is being viewed as another expression of that connection and his intention to have a stronger presence in Uttarakhand.
Government Support for Pant’s Request
While the government has assured Pant of cooperation, the final decision will remain subject to existing laws and regulations governing land acquisition in the state.
The development has generated interest among Pant’s supporters, particularly in Uttarakhand, where the cricketer enjoys considerable popularity.
