The diamantaires working in Surat rejected their demands on the government to allocate 200,000 square meters of land for the construction of the Surat Diamond Bourse (SDB) on the highway of the Year of Dod (Ghod Dod) belonging to the Navsari Agriculture University, NAU ). This was the result of criticism and protest actions from farmers and non-governmental organizations, which last month actively advocated the preservation of the green appearance of the city.
Now diamantaires appealed to the government of Gujarat with a new request for land allocation. They want to receive 300 thousand square meters of land under the construction of the exchange in the so-called "Green City". It is expected that the decision on this issue in the very near future will be made by the Chief Minister of State Anandiben Patel.
