Rishabh Pant’s 1 AM post asking Uttarakhand CM for land left social media in splits. Now, Dhami responds
India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant's late-night appeal to Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami for help acquiring land in his home state set social media abuzz — and now, the Chief Minister himself has responded, praising Pant and assuring him of official assistance.
Rishabh Pant, the India wicketkeeper-batter, recently made headlines not with his cricket skills, but with a late-night request to Uttarakhand's Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on social media. The post, sent at 12:46 AM, asked for assistance in securing land in the state, a matter Pant had been struggling with for years. Despite being a native of Uttarakhand, Pant had faced challenges in finding suitable land to move away from Delhi.
He described the process as frustrating and lacking clarity, with a plot he believed he was entitled to still not materializing. In a follow-up post, Pant suggested that being gifted the land would be a meaningful gesture of recognition for representing Uttarakhand internationally, while also open to purchasing it through proper channels.
Uttarakhand's Chief Minister Dhami responded to the post, praising Pant's contribution to the sport and the state, and confirming that instructions were being sent to relevant officials to address the issue. This response came as Pant was named in India's squad for the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka, marking his return to competitive action after a break.
The unusual late-night exchange quickly went viral, generating both amusement and mild concern over the timing and tone of Pant's messages.
