Women work at brick kilns loading sun dried bricks to ovens for hardening in Mohanpur, 27 km north of Agartala, capital of Indian northeastern state Tripura, on Wednesday, November 29, 2005. Demand for bricks, building blocks, has gone high in Tripura with many new high-rise constructions going on. Experts at a seminar expressed demands for new building laws in the northeast at a seminar recently held on Natural Disaster Management in Northeast India and disclosed that the entire region falls in the highly earthquake vulnerable Zone-V of the seismic map in the country with landslides and floods very common.
