Two kilns issued notices: Two brick kilns adjacent to Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Airport were issued orders to stop operation for the sake of environment protection.
Sources said one kiln owner had got a stay order against suspension of its operation. Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry made a comprehensive plan of shifting smoke-emitting kilns out of the city, realising that smoke-emitting brick kilns near the airport were causing air pollution.
According to a survey of Pakistan Environment Protection Agency (Pak-EPA), nearly 50 brick kilns in Rawalpindi and Islamabad were creating air pollution at an alarming rate. app
