While travelling to Rangamati, rather than being mesmerised by spellbinding natural beauty of the hilly terrain, visitors are greeted by a large number of brick kilns set up in Rangunia upazila of Chattogram. These brick kilns are not only harmful to the environment, plumes of smoke they emit are also making the air heavy with toxins, leading to various respiratory diseases.
