Goalpara Cracks Down on Illegal Brick Kilns
The Goalpara district administration is taking strong action against brick kilns that are operating without the right permits.
They have already demolished one illegal kiln and are giving others a chance to fix their paperwork.
If they don't, the kilns will be shut down, fined, and possibly demolished.
The administration wants to make sure all kilns follow the rules to protect the environment and make sure everyone pays their taxes.
They are also planning to keep a close eye on all kilns in the future to make sure they stay compliant.
Goalpara district administration launched a crackdown on illegal brick kilns to enforce regulations and protect the environment.
An unauthorized brick kiln in Ranua village was demolished as part of the enforcement action.
