Hello my all friends,

Assalamu Alaikum, how are you all?Today I will share with you a beautiful post about a brick kiln in Daganbhuiyan police station, Feni district. This brick kiln has been here for many years in Daganbhuiyan police station. And this brick kiln has been playing a big role in the area and the surrounding areas. This brick kiln is not just an industry, it has been fulfilling the daily work of people in building houses and roads. Here, many workers are seen working hard from dawn to dusk every day and earning a living through hard work. They collect raw earth from different places and mix it to form bricks.

Then they let them dry in the sun and harden them in the sun. Then they make them into bricks through fire. And clean the brick kiln. Most of the people who work here are daily wage laborers. They work hard to make bricks to meet their own and family's needs. Moreover, they work hard from morning till night. And there are some negative aspects to making this. Because a lot of black smoke comes out while burning the bricks. Which is harmful to plants and health. However, with the use of many types of things in current technology, now the smoke from the fire is less. The most important thing is that this brick kiln has started to meet the needs of the people.

1 What type of service location did you visit? Briefly describe it.

I visited a Daganbhuiyan brick kiln. Bricks are made there, but it was an opportunity to see how bricks are made there. Here, many workers work hard from morning to make bricks. It can be seen that they collect soil from different places and mix it with them to make raw bricks. And after letting those bricks dry, they burn them after a few days to make hard bricks. However, the work of those who work here every day is not so easy. I saw up close how hard it is to make a brick. And those who work here make the bricks through hard work. And here hundreds of bricks are made every day. And with these bricks, people's homes, roads and various places started to meet the needs of people.

The history of this Eid Bata activity in Daganbhuiyan police station is old. Because many years ago, this brick kiln was built on a small scale. And the people of the area used to bake bricks here to fulfill their needs. Currently, this brick kiln is in a very large area. And their bricks go from the area to the city. And currently this brick kiln is in a very large area. Usually, brick kilns are under the open sky. And it takes a lot of space where new bricks are grown and allowed to dry in the sun. Then they are burned in a fire to make bricks. And this brick kiln has become very popular with people day by day. Fewer people buy bricks from here than before. Considering all aspects, this brick kiln has been playing a big economic role in Daganbhuiyan.

3 Type of work & Workers’ lifestyle

Bricks are made through the hard work of brick kiln workers. If you look here, you can see that bricks are made in several steps. It is seen that soil is collected from different places and mixed with water to form Eid shapes. Later, they are dried in the sun and then heated in a stove to make bricks. Then they sell the bricks to different people for houses and other purposes. And the workers who work in brick kilns are daily wage laborers. They work from morning to evening. And most of them are temporary and work here in brick kiln rooms. And through this work, they earn their own income and take care of their family and everyone. In other words, the life of those who work in brick kilns is through hard work.

4 Environmental impact & (With pictures + videos)

In fact, the Daganbhuiyan Thana Brickyard is an environmental initiative. Because here the bricks are burned in a fire to make bricks. And the black smoke during brick making has a big impact on people's lives. Especially the harmful gases and fine dust caused by black smoke harm people. Research has already shown that most of the harmful aspects of Bangladesh are due to brick kilns. Because many people suffer from respiratory problems due to black smoke. It is also seen that the soil of the land is cut to make bricks, which reduces the fertility of the land. It is often seen that during the rainy season, due to the low fertility of the land, water accumulates and floods occur. But all in all, brick kilns make people's daily lives beautiful and are harmful. Many customers come to my brick kiln to buy bricks.
