# Rishabh Pant seeks Dhami’s help to buy land, CM assures support 2026-08-08T19:03:48+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Rishabh Pant has publicly appealed to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for help in buying land in the state, saying he wants to shift his permanent base from Delhi to his native Uttarakhand. In a late-night post on X, the 28-year-old cricketer said he has been trying for three years but could not find a suitable property. Pant clarified he is not seeking a free gift but wants to pay full government rates for his first home in his home state. CM Dhami responded saying instructions have been issued to officials who will contact Pant and ensure all possible cooperation. Separately, Pant's mother Saroj Pant has initiated reconstruction of the family's ancestral home in Pithoragarh's Pali-Amdali village. Locals hope Pant will visit more often once the house is ready. He is currently in Sri Lanka with the Indian squad for a Test series starting August 15. ## Coverage - businesstoday.in - rediff.com Tags: Cricket, land purchase, Pushkar Singh Dhami, Rishabh Pant, taxpayer, Uttarakhand Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rishabh-pant-seeks-cm-help-to-buy-land-in-uttarakhand/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
