Dang. Thirty brick industries in the district have suffered damages due to the rainfall last Saturday. According to Rom Wali, the District Chairman of the Brick Entrepreneurs Committee, the unseasonal rain damaged the raw bricks that had been laid out to dry. Entrepreneurs are facing hardship as the bricks kept for drying were soaked by the water and turned back into mud.

Chairman Wali stated that almost all brick industries located in the Tulsipur, Ghorahi, and Deukhuri areas of the district have incurred significant losses. The process of collecting damage details across the district is currently underway. According to preliminary figures, raw bricks worth NPR 10 million have been destroyed in 22 industries in the Tulsipur and Ghorahi areas alone, informed Kewal Khatri, the Treasurer of the committee.
