Illegal brick kiln demolished in Cumilla
The district administration and Department of Environment (DoE) demolished an illegal brick kiln in Cumilla yesterday.
The joint drive starting at 11am continued for all-day long at Kalkarpar Amratoli in Sadar upazila.
Executive Magistrate Amit Datta, Magistrate Mehedi Islam, DoE Assistant Director Saokat Area Koli and its Inspector Md Nazrul Islam participated in the drive against NSB Bricks.
Koli said, “This brick kiln was being operated without any approval from the district administration. It was violating the environment law as well. Filter was never used in the kiln. Eventually, the rate of carbon dioxide it was emitting was very high.”
Owner of the brick kiln was not available for comments.
