UP Government to Amend Brick Kiln Policy for Stricter Regulation
The Uttar Pradesh government is updating rules for brick factories.
They're working with different departments to make sure factories follow the rules, pay taxes, and help the environment.
They're also encouraging the use of eco-friendly bricks to reduce pollution and protect soil.
The goal is to make the industry stable while also protecting the environment and growing the economy.
The UP government plans to amend the 2012 Brick Kiln Policy to enhance regulation.
The Environment Department, Pollution Control Board, and GST Department are coordinating.
The amendment is based on legal advice from former Supreme Court Chief Justice BN Khare.
