With the advent of the winter, people get ready to welcome the season with adding more winter clothes to their wardrobes. A comforter of a bed is sufficient with the start of the season, followed by heavy blankets and room heaters and all sorts of things essential to beat the cold.

People are trying to keep themselves warm in every possible way.
The winter this year is beyond expectation. The temperature dipped to around 1.9 degree Celsius which has not happened in the last five years. During the morning and the nights dense fog covers the whole region with zero visibility with chilly winds throughout the whole day. Sun gives a brief appearance after many days like the guest appearance in a film. It is becoming very hard for the people to cope with this freezing climate. Doing the daily chores of life is become very tough for the mercury dipping low. The main sections mostly affected by this climate are the weaker sections of the society and the homeless. It’s really a tough time for these people for they could not afford things to the fullest to bear the climate. And of course, homeless are the worst affected. They are left with no other option than to bear the shivering cold in open. The most they can do is sitting around fire to warm themselves up.
