Cold wave conditions have disrupted daily life in Kailali, Kanchanpur and other Tarai districts. With temperatures dropping sharply, some local units have closed schools, while routine work has also been affected.

Dense fog combined with the cold wave has made daily activities difficult for residents. The cold wave has been affecting Kailali and Kanchanpur since December 16. As fog has persisted even during the daytime, children, senior citizens and daily wage labourers have been the worst affected.
