Mr. Nguyen Tien Cuong, in Thuan Yen hamlet, Nghia Hoan commune, said: His family has a double kiln for producing handmade tiles. The kiln has been inactive since 2017, but it has not been able to be dismantled due to financial difficulties. Photo: Van Truong
Brick and tile kilns have stopped operating but have not been completely dismantled, only partially dismantled. The remaining parts are loosely structured. Every day, people still come to graze buffalo and cows, and accidents can happen at any time. Photo: Van Truong
Some of the pits are still in disarray and have not been reclaimed. Photo: Van Truong.
Mr. Vi Van Quang - Head of Tan Ky Economic Infrastructure Department added: Right at the time of banning the operation of manual brick and tile kilns, the district directed the owners of brick and tile kilns in Nghia Hoan to dismantle the construction. However, due to financial difficulties and lack of support, many people have not dismantled the construction. Currently, Tan Ky district is actively attracting the project of a glazed tile factory built right on the old land and mobilizing the project to support part of the cost for people to dismantle the brick and tile kilns.
