The HC declared operation of those brick kilns and sawmills illegal and also directed the government to find out if there were any other brick field and sawmills operating illegally in the reserved forest area.
The court also observed that the ministries of Environment and Forests and Local Government and Rural Development should be more cautious in issuing licence and clearance certificate for establishing brick field and sawmill.
The HC bench of Justice Mirza Hussain Haider and Justice Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarkar came up with the verdict after hearing the writ petition filed by Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association (Bela).
Bela filed the petition with the HC on December 15, 2011 seeking its directives on the government to stop the operation of brick fields and sawmills to save the environment, forest and biodiversity.
