India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant makes a late-night public appeal to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, asking for help acquiring land so he can shift his base from Delhi back to his home state. Multiple outlets report that the request gains wide attention online and quickly goes viral.

Context reported by outlets includes Pant’s stated goal of purchasing land in Uttarakhand, with one report saying he has been trying for several years and seeking land through government channels at applicable rates. While some coverage describes the post as a “gift” request, the common thread across reports is that Pant is asking for assistance with land acquisition in Uttarakhand.

Outlets also report the CM’s response. Mint and NDTV say Dhami reacts to Pant’s post and assures official support, with NDTV adding that he directs government officials to assist Pant in acquiring land according to rules. Times of India similarly frames the plea as a request for land acquisition, along with details about Pant’s attempts and home-state plans.
