Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Real "KATTAPPAs are seen in brick kilns across the regions in Visakhapatnam. At a five and-a-half acre brick kiln site located around 50 km from the city, it was just another bright and sunny day. The workers were brought from various places of Orissa, Jeypore and Srikakulam into the city by a "Sardar" (mediator) from their place into the brick kilns around the city. Most of the Brick Kiln owners hail from Prakasam, Nellore, Chittoor and Guntur whereas the other few partners are from local bodies who looks after the brick kiln business at Arabpalem, Munnagapaka, Ummalada, Tumpala and Seethanagram which are nearby areas of Anakapalli.
