As of filing this report at 10:45am on Wednesday, the sunlight wasn’t seen while the vehicles were moving with headlights on to avoid an accident, reports UNB.
People are not going outside unless it's urgent amid the chilly breeze blowing from the Himalayas. The low-income people, children, and senior citizens are the worst sufferers caused by the biting cold.
Jitendranath Roy, officer-in-charge of Tetulia Weather Observation Centre, said they recorded the temperature at 9.5 degrees Celsius at 9am with 100 per cent humidity.
