The ongoing cold spell has led to a sharp rise in cold-related illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly. Of the admitted patients, 80 were children. Kalam Hossain, a mason from Eidgah Para in Chuadanga Municipality, said he was struggling to work in the biting cold. Chuadanga Meteorological Office Officer-in-Charge Jaminur Rahman said the cold intensity has increased over the past few days due to persistent cloud cover. He also said that the decreasing gap between maximum and minimum temperatures is making the cold feel more severe across the district.
