Affected farmers in the area claimed that the extremely hot air emitted from Maa Bricks kiln is severely damaging their croplands. The brick kiln labourers, after burning the bricks, open the air pockets of the burner to cool it down, emitting hot air and ashes that spread over to the nearby paddy fields. However, the Agricultural Department sources said steps have been taken to stop the brick kiln owners from engaging in this practice. But just a few days after the grains started appearing, the heat emitted from the nearby MZH brick kiln burned my crops. The brick kiln was run illegally, he also said.
