The Gujarat Government is reportedly thinking about relaxing the prohibition in the state, as the GoG is preparing for allowing alcohol consumption at Surat’s Diamond Bourse, just like GIFT City.
Diamond Bourse, the world’s largest office, has struggled to attract diamond businessmen, according to reports. Therefore, the state government may allow alcohol consumption to attract business. Notably, the ambitious Diamond Bourse, with its 4,500 offices, is spread over 35.45 acres in Surat.
According to reports, the office bearers at Diamond Bourse have asked the state government to approve the serving of alcohol to promote business.
It has been learned that if the proposal is approved, the Home Department and other concerned departments will issue a guideline on the consumption and sale of liquor.
Reports also suggest that the government is also in favour of relaxing the liquor ban in Gujarat to promote business in the state.
Sources said that not only GIFT City and Diamond Bourse, the government could also relax the prohibition at the Statue of Unity to promote tourism and attract foreign tourists.
