the country.
Night temperature may rise slightly and day temperature may
remain nearly unchanged across the country.
The low pressure area over southeast Bay and adjoining area
persists. One of its associated trough extends up to northeast Bay.
UNB's Chuadanga correspondent reports that poor people,
especially daily labourers, are the worst sufferers due to this cold spell.
Many of them preferred to remain indoor due to the shivering weather.
Movement was also disrupted due to poor visibility caused by
dense fog.
People are thronging the local markets to buy warm clothes.
Rakibul Hasan, in-charge of the Chuadanga Weather
Observatory Centre, said, "The weather department has recorded a minimum
temperature of 9.3 degree Celsius on Saturday which is the lowest temperature
across the country this year. The mercury may fall in the coming days."
Meanwhile, the hospitals in the districts are overwhelmed
with patients with cold-related diseases.
The UNB correspondent found that over 150 children and many
adults are admitted at the outdoor facilities of hospitals.
Dr. Mahbubur Rahman Milon, a child specialist of Chuadanga
Sadar Hospital, said, "As a mild cold wave is sweeping over the district,
the number of patients with cold-related diseases are increasing day by day.
All the physicians and staff are struggling to provide healthcare services to
the patients."
