Protect People From Cold

The season of winter has brought with it frosty mornings and chilly days. Minimum temperatures across the country is in free fall, with Kathmandu recording 2.C on Saturday morning, lowest this season so far. Provinces with mountainous region are experiencing snowfall. Amid the deepening cold, traffic of vehicles on major roads has started thinning in the early morning and soon after nightfall. This steep drop in temperature has prompted many to prolong their time indoors. Many are seen huddling around a fire started impromptu in the open in an attempt to beat the biting cold. Those privileged with modern amenities are increasingly staying indoor and working from air-conditioned settings or surrounding themselves with heat radiating equipment. They are also enjoying foods and drinks that raise the body temperature.
