Assalamu Alaikum, rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Today I will show you a factory that we call a kiln in our language. This kiln is a kiln in which tobacco leaves are heated and then taken to the factory. This kiln is made in a very simple way, but it costs millions of rupees. To prepare a tobacco kiln, you should have a room. The room can be made of clay or cement. It depends on you. But this room is made in such a way that the smoke of the fire can easily escape from it and the roof above should not leak during the rain. This means that the roof of the room should be strong. If it is rainy season, rainwater should not enter the room and then the room should be closed from all sides. Bricks are used to prepare this kiln, wood is used, and clay is used. Clay is used as mortar and the walls are built with bricks. It is very easy to make this kiln, but it is prepared using a special method so that when the tobacco leaves are heated, the heat is neither too much nor too little, but the amount of heat is enough so that the leaves dry and are completely ready. When I saw this kiln, I asked how much is spent on it, and the owner told me that the cost of it is one crore rupees and other expenses are above.
The kiln I visited today is newly constructed and the tobacco season is just beginning. The harvest has started and this factory or kiln will become fully functional in three to four days and the tobacco leaves will start being heated here. I will give you a little view of how this kiln is constructed. As I told you, if you want to construct a low-cost kiln, then you can use mortar and you can also use raw bricks. If you want to construct this kiln for the long term, then you can also use ready-made cemented bricks and you can also cement its walls. But instead of cement, it is better to cement the car because the clay that is used absorbs heat, while the cement that is used gets very hot. So, in this way, mortar is coated on the walls and the walls are constructed in this way. In addition, the room on the front side is A furnace is built on the front side of the room, which you can also call a furnace, which you can also call a fire-burning furnace, in which fire is lit, and you are looking at that furnace wall in front of the room, which you can see as a furnace. Similarly, what is inside the room, wooden walls are built under the ceiling of the room. The wood is placed on top of the wood and they are made into a special type of table. With the help of wood, when the tobacco leaves are brought to this factory, these leaves are placed on top of the wood that is hanging under the ceiling. All the wooden tables that are made in the room are placed on top of the wood that is placed in order along the walls, and in this way the room is closed. Then the furnace or furnace that you can see outside is lit, then the fire continues to burn in this room for a certain time, and the flame of the fire burning in this furnace That room also gets hot and thus due to this heat the tobacco leaves are prepared and then they catch the heat and thus they dry out. When they are dry or they are prepared, they are then sent to big factories to be made into tobacco.
In these small local factories where tobacco leaves are prepared, dozens of workers work. Each worker is a skilled craftsman who has complete knowledge. These are not ordinary workers, but they are regular train workers who regularly work in these small-scale kilns of tobacco. In this way, these kilns are also providing business to dozens of people and in this way it is also convenient for the farmers that they take the tobacco leaves to any kiln near their area and then they are prepared there and taken to the factories.
You can see in the picture above that it looks like a cave, it looks like a hole, it is not a cave, but it is actually a furnace and this is where the fire is lit and when the fire is lit, it is made of iron and this shell is fitted inside this hole and it will work in the form of a furnace, so the fire is lit here and then the iron, which is the iron blood that is placed on top of the furnace, when it gets hot, then the whole room gets hot, so this is actually called the furnace where the fire is lit and in this way the front door and the back door of the room are completely closed, but the holes that are made on the back side of the room, which are used to let out smoke or bad smell or air and air go in and out, are also made, but in a special way, I want to show you in the picture above that what you see as a cave or hole This is actually the kiln, and the fire is lit inside it, and this iron shell is made of this.
This is the interior of the room. In the two pictures above, you are seeing the interior of the room. We can also call it a room, we can also call it a furnace, we can also call it a factory. You can see that the wood is hanging inside the room and it is not horizontal or vertical, but horizontal vertically. They are placed inside the room. You can see how the wood is hanging inside the room and it is placed in a specific order inside the room. The leaves of the ants are hung on these wood. Just as we hang a wire at home to hang clothes and hang clothes on them, in the same way, these wood work as a wire to hang these leaves. So these wood are hung inside the entire room and in this way, the leaves are placed on these wood. The leaves are spread out and when these leaves are completely filled inside the room, then fire is lit inside the kiln and all the doors are closed. You can see These are the wood and then small pieces of wood are placed on top of them and it is made like a table. This table is made and then the leaves are spread on the table and in this way those leaves are prepared again by the heat of the fire burning in the kiln. So you can see this room. I am showing you these two pictures and I hope you are getting a complete comparison of how the wood is placed inside the room.
In the two pictures above, you can see the furnaces. The outside view of the furnace and the inside view of the room. Now you can see it from the outside, and then you can also see it from the inside. It is not such a big oven or a very large iron shell, but a five-foot iron shell is prepared. It is made like a furnace. It has a mouth on the outside and then fire is lit in it. So, the fire actually burns inside the furnace, of which you are seeing both the outside and the inside of the room.
You are seeing the outside view in the picture above. This kiln is being built at a cost of more than one crore rupees. There are a total of three to four rooms in it. This means that there are four kilns that will work here. In this way, dozens of workers will work here and craftsmen who are experts in different jobs will also work here. This is how their livelihood will continue. So this was a little bit of a view that I thought I would take you on a complete tour of these local or simple tobacco factories in my area. And in this way, I have seen this factory and today I am also giving you a complete review of it. So you can see the outside view. It is a very open field and therefore there is a lot of space. It is wide because vehicles will come here, trucks will come and the tobacco crop will be loaded on them and then it will be unloaded here. After unloading, the trucks will be loaded again and will go to the next city for pressure. So is this a complete, a complete, a big, local factory or do you think it is a small factory? We can call it Bhatti, we call it Bhatti in our language.
You can see in the picture that there are piles of wood and this wood will be burned inside these furnaces so that the fire will generate heat and prepare the leaves of the firewood. Thus, gas is not available here and neither can gas be used here. Wood is also cheap, but with the inflation rate today, wood has also become expensive. But you can see that the pile of wood here in the factory is only for the purpose of burning this wood in the furnaces that I have shown you and told you about.
In this way, thousands of people are engaged in business through these factories in the areas where tobacco crops are grown. Capitalists go there and set up factories or kilns on a large scale and then in these kilns, when the tobacco crop is ready, its leaves are heated. I would also like to write here that wherever such factories are located, the people of that area will get employment, there will be prosperity among the people there and the expenses of the farmers will also be saved because if such small-scale factories are located in the same area where tobacco crops are grown on a large scale, the expenses of transporting the farmers to distant places will be saved because when the factories are located in the same place, I would also like to tell you here that there are many expenses incurred in building these factories. It costs crores of rupees and who invests these crores of rupees? These are the same investors whom I told you about in my previous article that the farmers who are forced to grow tobacco crops are forced to grow tobacco. The people who bear the expenses for growing are the same people who also set up small-scale kilns. They can be locals here or people from faraway places or other cities. They rent land here or rent a house, they rent unfinished rooms and then they turn them into a factory or kiln, and then the landlord also gets the rent, and this kiln is not for a day, but for years. In this way, if there is any land lying around, empty land, investors build factories on this land and then keep paying rent to the landowner. In this way, all these steps or all these factories, all this farming is becoming a source of employment for many. There are no such factories around my city or my village, but this factory is located about 60 kilometers away from my village and it is located in the city of Bukhara. So I thought that you should know about this small local factory where tobacco is produced. I hope that you liked the information I have given you and that your knowledge has also increased. I know that the information I have given you is not enough, but I have written in this article as much information as I have gained or as much as I knew. Thank you all very much for taking the time to read my article today.
