In this photograph taken on April 27, 2022, labourers work at a brick kiln in Dolike village on the outskirts of Jalandhar in India's Punjab state. Bricks are the backbone of India's urban construction industry and the coal-fired kilns that produce them are an important source of employment for seasonal workers in rural pockets of the country. Each labourer is paid 800 rupees ($10.50) for every thousand bricks they make, and each of the roughly 1,600 active kilns around Punjab state make about five million bricks each season.
