Cold wave impacts daily life in Terai-Madhesh

KATHMANDU: The cold wave has intensified the chill, severely affecting daily life in Terai-Madhesh, including Nawalparasi.

The cold winds, fog, and thick mist have led to disruption in the region.

The lack of sunlight, cold winds, and fog have hit the lower-income groups and laborers the hardest.

The extreme cold has forced impoverished families to stay by the fire throughout the day, and business activities have slowed down significantly.
