Chuadanga residents again feeling severe cold at Magh’s end

According to the Chuadanga Weather Observatory Centre, the local Met office recorded the country’s lowest temperature of the season—9.6°C—at 9 am on Saturday.

"A mild cold wave is sweeping the district which could persist for two to three days. While temperatures may rise slightly tomorrow there remains a possibility of further drops," said a Met office official.

Although the intensity of the winter had somewhat eased in recent days, the last two days have seen a resurgence of biting cold, disrupting daily life, said locals .

The chilly wind has made it difficult for people to endure the cold conditions and the situation is particularly harsh for the homeless and day labourers.

Day labourers who have to venture out in search of work are also finding it difficult to manage in the cold, reports UNB.

Liakat Ali, a rickshaw-van puller in Chuadanga district town,  said, "The cold eased a bit recently, but over the past two days, the chill has intensified. My hands and feet are shivering. While the sun offers some relief during the day, the cold becomes unbearable by the afternoon."
