Mumbai: The India Gem & Jewellery Show (GJS) which was scheduled to be orgnaized between 25th and 29th June, 2020 by the All India Gem and Jewellery Council (GJC) in Mumbai has been postponed due to wide spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a letter addressed to the exhibitors and visitors, signed by the GJC chairman Mr. Anantha Padmanabhan and Vice Chairman Mr. Shaankar Sen, the Council informed, “In view of this critical circumstances, we find ourselves in a crisis, where the ongoing situation have completely paralyzed our planning and co- ordination activities for GJS. We have been compelled to forsake all our activities concerning GJS leading up to the event scheduled in June 2020. This has therefore resulted in a dead end and it has now become impossible to organise and execute a successful exhibition.”
“Given that (i) the present circumstances are beyond our control; (ii) the pandemic has created uncertainty for the coming months and (iii) that NESCO (Bombay Exhibition Centre) is been used as quarantine zone and will take weeks to make it available for exhibitions again. we are compelled to cancel the June edition of the Show and are looking to reschedule the event. As a responsible Domestic Council, we are exploring all options and we assure you that Industry’s interest will always be kept as our top priority.”
