December 14: Cold wave has started in western Terai including Kailali and Kanchanpur districts. Layers of thick fog have blanketed places like Lamki, Tikapur, Sukhad, Mahendranagar and other areas in the districts from early morning today (Thursday). 

The normal life in the communities has been affected due to the thick fog and cold wave and the people have been staying indoors to keep themselves warm.

Likewise, a limited number of vehicles are seen on the roads and so is the mobility of people.

Similarly, the morning shift classes at schools and campuses have been affected due to the cold wave. 

With the beginning of the cold wave, the elderly citizens are at the receiving end, while the farmers are worried that the bitter cold might have adverse effects on vegetable products, mostly green vegetables and potatoes. -- RSS
