Ninety percent of people in the stone industry work
Nimmer City Councilman: Despite the many valuable mines around Nimmer we have a shortage of funding for many development projects.
According to Iran Stone International Exhibition, Hassan Firoozi, Chairman of Nimvar City Council, in an exclusive interview with Iranian Stone News Agency stated: Plans for precise Iran Stone Exhibition to be held in Nimar in September next year The exhibition has been commissioned by the board of directors of the Exhibition and the City Council and the Municipality of Nimar so that God willing, the exhibition will play its role in the name of the country's stone industry.
He added: According to the information available, the activity of stone craftsmen in Nimar dates back to 1330, during which years Ghanbar Rahimi, who is now referred to as the father of Iranian stone industry in this city, started this industry in this city. He laid the foundation.
He continued: "After that, his colleagues and his students continued on this path until it came to the conclusion that today, about 90 percent of the average people are employed.
"With the growth and development of the stone industry throughout the country, the miners who learned the profession gradually went to mines around the country and set up the industry in other mines and other cities in Iran," said the head of the Nimvar city council.
He continued: "With the many valuable mines around Nemur we have a lack of funding for many development projects."
Firoozi noted: The Atashkouh and Meteorite and Abbas Abad mines are the most important high-income mines in the region and even in the country, which are located near the city of Nimar and carry all their cargo transit to the main boulevard of Nimar.
"We expect these mines to be funded to repair the damage they do to the city, but so far nothing has happened," he said.
He said: Due to the overload of cargo trucks and the activity of Abbas Abad mine near the city, we have to wash the entire urban green space every ten days, as well as the damage caused by asphalting the urban streets. It is too much and costs a lot of maintenance.
