Seven Workers Find 17.96-Carat Diamond Worth Rs 50 Lakh in Madhya Pradesh
Seven daily-wage workers in Madhya Pradesh's Panna district discovered a 17.96-carat gem-quality diamond in a leased shallow mine after inspecting it following heavy rains. The diamond is valued at around Rs 50 lakh and is expected to be auctioned by the government, which will take a 12% royalty. The remaining proceeds will be shared equally among the seven workers. Similar finds have occurred in the region, including an 11.19-carat diamond found by a tribal family earlier this year.
