The cold weather is creating severe difficulties for the residents. Children and the elderly, in particular, are taking extra precautions to protect themselves from the harsh conditions. Many individuals are also experiencing breathing problems due to the extreme cold.
Local businesses are adjusting their working hours because of the weather. Most shops and establishments now open at 10 a.m. and close by 7 p.m. As a result, urban and mandal centres appear deserted during the evenings. To stay warm, many families are lighting campfires in front of their homes.
Foggy conditions are making mornings particularly chilly, with dense fog still visible even at 8 a.m. The cold wave has significantly impacted the region, and people are struggling to adapt to the harsh temperatures.
