NDTV’s Aaquil Jameel’s ground report from Navsari, Gujarat, highlights the economic impact of the devastating floods on the state’s diamond industry. In one of the city’s diamond factory clusters, work remained suspended for more than 10 days after floodwaters, reaching nearly 10 feet, inundated industrial units. Diamond traders say expensive laser-cutting machines and electronic equipment suffered extensive damage, raising concerns over financial losses and disruption to one of Gujarat’s key industries.
