However, the kiln owners have justified their decision by citing rising coal and petroleum product prices, transportation expenses, and decreased sales.
The Secretary General also mentioned that the brick kiln industry is currently experiencing a recession, with many kilns shutting down and the ones still operational selling their products at lower prices.
Moreover, it was stated that kilns in upper Punjab will remain open as they had closed during the winter season.
