One killed as part of brick kiln caves in

A brickfield worker was killed and two others were injured as a portion of a brick kiln abruptly caved in early yesterday in Nawabganj upazila of Dinajpur.

The dead was Md Sakim Ali, 24, of Nayapara village.

The injured-- Md Raihanur Rahman, 28, and Mintu Chokroborty, 15, of the same upazila--were admitted to Hakimpur Upazila Health Complex.

Locals said a large chunk of a kiln befell the workers when they were working at RTB Brickfield in the morning, leaving Ali dead on the spot and the other two critically injured.

According to locals, many complaints were reported against the kiln for operating without abiding by environmental rules, but the local administration was still indifferent.

Contacted, Moshfiqur Rahman Mintu, owner of the kiln, declined to comment.
