A woman wails as fire ravages her only source of income -- a makeshift factory producing aluminum bars --- in the capital’s Demra area. In a drive yesterday, the Department of Environment knocked down six such illegal factories, which were harming the area’s environment by releasing toxic chemicals into the air.
