Diamond Hunt Draws Hundreds to Nandyal Streams

People are going to the Nallamala forests in Andhra Pradesh to look for diamonds in the streams.

They believe that when the first monsoon rains come, the water washes away dirt and shows hidden diamonds.

Many people, including young and old, are digging in the soil hoping to find valuable stones.

Some think diamonds can be found because of old stories about sacred offerings.

However, forest officials are worried because the area is protected and dangerous, especially during the breeding season for animals like tigers.
