The news about a diagnostic centre being set up at Dhoni’s residence in Harmu has caused quite a stir. In response, the board has ordered an investigation to determine the original purpose of the land allocation and whether it is being used according to the rules. If it turns out that the residential area is being used for commercial activities, strict actions will be enforced. Jharkhand State Housing Board
Dhoni previously resided in a house on Harmu Road, but he has since moved to a new home on Simaliya’s Ring Road. Reports indicate that a diagnostic lab has been established at his former residence, prompting the housing board to keep a close watch on the situation. Jharkhand State Housing Board
It’s worth mentioning that the Jharkhand government granted Dhoni the plot during Arjun Munda’s tenure as Chief Minister in recognition of his remarkable achievements in cricket. The property, which spans approximately 10,000 square feet, now features a luxurious house.
It is noteworthy that the BJP’s state headquarters on Harmu Road has faced allegations of misusing residential lands. In this context, the Housing Board has previously issued notices. Both cases are currently under investigation, and appropriate action will be taken once they are concluded.
Interestingly, similar accusations of improper use of residential plots have also been made against the BJP’s state office on Harmu Road. The Housing Board had previously issued notices concerning this matter. Investigations into both cases are currently underway, and suitable action will be taken once they are concluded.

As the captain of CSK, he has led the team to five IPL trophies, making him the second player to achieve this feat after Rohit Sharma.
