Lahore: Deputy Commissioner Lahore Anwar-ul-Haq, in consultation with kiln owners, has fixed the rate of awwal category bricks at PKR 8,000 per 1,000 bricks, reported a news source. A formal notification in this regard has also been issued.
While determining this rate, the latest brick rates in other districts of Punjab were also taken into consideration. Talking to kiln owners, Haq instructed the kiln owners to ensure that the notified rates are followed throughout the province.
Due to a ban placed on kilns that were being operated using the old techniques, the rate of bricks had been constantly increasing over the last couple of weeks. The decision to place the ban, which is now to be extended, was taken to control the level of air pollution in the province, and prevent the smog from worsening.
