The scenario is more or less the same in Narail district, where many brick-kilns owners are continuing their anti-environmental activities without restraint. In recent times, some brick-kiln owners have been digging up soil and sand from Madhumati river to burn bricks –and the local administration is silent on the matter. In the rainy season, Narail’s Madhumati river swells up, becoming a curse to the locals. Yet seven brick-kilns have been set up on the bank of Madhumati river in Shalnagar union. Molla Bricks is one of these brick-kilns set up on Madhumati river bank in Ramkantapur village.
