Rabiul Islam, a businessman, said that he could not open his shop in the morning due to severe cold.
Thakurgaon, one of the northernmost districts of the country, is also experiencing a mild cold wave.
The winter has been unusually intense with continuous fog for several days. The Sun has not been visible properly for the last 4-5 days, due to which life has become completely disrupted.
The sudden drop in temperature is affecting the residents of Thakurgaon, especially children and the elderly. People are avoiding leaving their homes unless absolutely necessary. Meanwhile, the crowd at winter clothing shops has increased significantly.
