A shivering cold coupled with dense fog pummelled the country, disrupting daily activities and communications by roads, rivers and air and spreading winter-related diseases.
A mild cold wave is sweeping across Rajshahi, Pabna, Dinajpur, Panchagarh, Nilphamari, Jashore, Chuadanga and Kushtia districts and it may continue, Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) said this morning.
The cold wave coursing through the country is likely to continue for another three to four days especially over the northwestern districts extending up to Dhaka, according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department’s latest forecast.
At least 50 people have died in two months as cold weather continues to sweep across the country, officials say.
The mild cold wave sweeping over the country, especially the north-western regions, may improve from Sunday, a meteorologist says.
While the country shivers in bitter cold, the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital is witnessing a surge of burn patients.
With an oxygen mask on, Safat, little over a month old, was reluctant to open his eyes at Dhaka Shishu Hospital. His mother wore a worried expression on her face as she held him tightly, trying to keep him warm.
