A mobile court in Sirajganj’s Raiganj and Ullapara upazilas fined five illegal brick kilns a total of Tk 1.1 million for environmental violations. The joint operation, conducted by the district administration and the Department of Environment from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, also demolished the kiln of one brickfield for causing severe environmental damage. The drive was led by Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Executive Magistrate Ruhul Amin.
According to officials, the action followed reports that toxic emissions from Messrs Tanzila Bricks in Bilchandi area had damaged nearby farmland. On April 30, around 80 bighas of Boro paddy were reportedly destroyed, prompting farmers to protest and demand compensation. After the issue gained attention through media coverage, authorities launched the mobile court operation.
The fined brick kilns were Messrs Sufia Bricks (Tk 200,000), Messrs Ruhi Bricks (Tk 200,000), Messrs Raninagar Bricks (Tk 100,000), Messrs Asha Bricks (Tk 500,000), and Messrs Tanzila Bricks (Tk 100,000). Officials stated that similar drives against illegal and environmentally harmful brick kilns will continue in the future.
