The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday asked the government to remove all illegal brick kilns in Kathmandu Valley within six months.

A division bench of Justices Kedar Prasad Giri and Bal Ram KC issued an order asking the government to study about all brick kilns operating in the capital and to close down those running illegally.

The Court gave this order in response to the public interest litigation (PIL) filed by advocates Prakash Mani Sharma and others claiming that hundred of brick kilns which are operating illegally are giving rise to environmental pollution.
