Even a decade ago, bricks were the main material used in building and road construction in Bangladesh. Now the days have changed, the stone is taking the place of the brick kiln as a sustainable construction material. How fast this change is happening is clear in one piece of information. Stone is the second most imported commodity in the country.
The stoneworkers are very industrious. Men, as well as women, are working there in equal rhythm. They are constantly working so hard as daily wages. Younger mayors are helping their parents because of the financial crisis. Since child labor is banned in almost all countries, young children are still doing hard work like pulling stones due to scarcity, even older people are doing it.
They are working day and night at the risk of their lives. But workers are not getting the value of their labor. Humanity is not shown there for financial reasons.
