In char areas of Chilmari, Roumari, Rajibpur, Ulipur and Kurigram Sadar, children and the elderly are disproportionately affected by the lack of adequate warm clothing. Kobad Ali, a daily wage earner, from Borber Char in Kodalkati Union, separated by the Brahmaputra River in Char Rajibpur Upazila, expressed his despair. Locals criticise the insufficient distribution of winter clothes to the char areas, noting that government and private aid falls far short of the urgent need. However, for the hardworking residents of Kurigram's char areas, this winter is not just a battle against the cold, but a daily struggle for survival.
