Sub: pollution caused by the smoke of brick kiln.
No less than five hundred meter form the core area of Bhaktapur there are dozens of kilns’ chimneys emitting thick black smoke, which mix up with air to pollute it. Unquestionably, the present fixed chumminess are less harmful than those previous chumminess. But the aggregate pollution caused by the brick kilns has rocketed instead o f dealing with the implementation of new technology.
Our concern here is not about the smoke emitted by the chimneys of the kilns: but of course with the smoke; the smoke ejaculated through the entire of the vehicle. We, dwellers of this municipality are facing unnecessary overdose of air pollution. The brick factories are using dozens of vehicles to throw out smokes misusing the subsidized diesel, which actually was meant for the poor public. Of Nepal, to carry bricks from the making site to the baking furnace, conventionally the making site and the baking place used to be one but owing to the unfair competition the factories are compelling the land owners to lease their land to those whose firing site is far from the baking site not allowing the one which has the kiln at the very place.
So we cordially request the municipal and the district authority to manage the situation and help control the pollution.
