District administration warns brick kilns against illegal operation Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA The district administration has warned operators of brick kilns/chambers in five village panchayats in Thadagam valley of taking legal action for illegal operation. The move comes a day after the Madras High Court set aside the order issued by the Coimbatore North Tahsildar to close down brick kilns in the valley. The court on Friday held that the Tahsildar was not empowered to order the closure of brick kilns and directed the District Collector to pass appropriate orders on the issue within four weeks after hearing the brick kiln owners.
