The High Court has summoned eight people, including divisional commissioners of Dhaka, Chattogram, and Khulna, to appear before it by February 12 and explain their inaction to stop illegal brick kilns and the use of firewood in brick kilns.

Besides, the court also summoned the deputy commissioners of Nilphamari, Kurigram, Lalmonirhat, and Upazila Nirbahi Officers (UNO) of Savar and Dhamrai upazilas.

The HC bench of Justice Farah Mahbub and Justice Debasish Roy Chowdhury passed the order on Wednesday after hearing a petition, reports UNB.

Advocate Manzill Murshid stood for the petitioner, while Deputy Attorney General Tanim Khan represented the state.

A writ petition was filed on behalf of the Human Rights Peace for Bangladesh (HRPB) seeking the operation of illegal brick kilns in 2022, said Advocate Manzill Murshid.

On November 13, 2022, the court ordered stopping operation of all illegal brick kilns.

As the divisional commissioners did not take any effective steps to stop the operation of illegal brick kilns, the court on November 28 asked the divisional commissioners to stop the operation of all unauthorised brick kilns.

As the authorities concerned failed to take effective measures in this regard, the court summoned them, he said.
