Whither plan of switching from bricks to blocks?

No good thing sees the light of day in Bangladesh easily. One such thing is the government’s plan to phase out clay bricks replacing them with concrete blocks by 2025. The ministry of environment, forests, and climate change, adopted this plan way back in 2019 to protect the topsoil and stop air pollution. Almost four years on the plan is still a plan.
Brick kilns are destroying our precious little lands polluting the atmosphere immensely. But if the plan was materialised, at least 30 per cent of the bricks would have been replaced by blocks by 2021-22. The blocks were to replace bricks 60 per cent by 2022-23, 80 per cent by 2023-24, and 100 per cent by 2024-25.
It is not that this plan of replacing bricks with blocks is not crucial. Far from it, when global warming caused by the emission of greenhouse gases has tremendously impacted our environment and nature with future projection that part of Bangladesh will go under water, saving whatever natural balance is left with should have received the top priority. We should have stopped or limited burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. We should have replaced these sources with alternative sources of energy such as solar and wind power. But this has not been possible.
Before the international forum Bangladesh could have represented its victimhood by global warming more pertinently if the country itself should have shown seriousness about it. The authorities in Bangladesh are so insensitive to the people’s environmental needs that they are allowing destruction of agricultural lands before their eyes.
However, what could be the reasons for which none of the government agencies, including the Department of Public Works, the National Housing Authority, Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha, the Education Engineering Department, and the Local Government Engineering Department, is yet to implement the guidelines of phasing out bricks in their respective construction and renovation works?
Surely, there might be people in the government who are delaying this phasing out process to help the brick kiln owners in their money making goal.
Reportedly, 8,000 legal and several thousand illegal brickfields are producing 3,500 crores of bricks annually. The several million tonnes of carbon dioxide that they emit and 12.25 crore tonnes of fertile topsoil that they use is massively harming Bangladesh. Realising the seriousness of the matter, if necessary, the government must extend help including the financial one to the brick kilns owners so that they can switch to production of blocks from bricks.
