The lowest temperature in Bangladesh has been recorded in Panchagarh, as a cold wave driven by icy winds and dense fog from the Himalayas has disrupted public life in the northern district. Motiar, a day labourer from the Mannapara area of Boda Upazila, said working in such weather has become extremely difficult. Mainul, a van driver from the Collegepara area, said dense fog has made driving risky and reduced his income. Nur Nabi, from Naya Dighi in Boda Upazila, said blankets were no longer sufficient to keep people warm. He warned that the intensity of the cold may persist for the next few days due to continued northern winds and dense fog.
