The twin cities received the much awaited first rain of winter season on Saturday. The first winter rain compelled the citizens to take out woolies, blankets, quilts and other accessories to keep them warm and prevent themselves from the seasonal diseases especially cough and influenza while taking extra measures in wake of Covid-19 pandemic. The dipping mercury during the last few days especially after rain has increased the demand of the traditional local winter delights available at the different food outlets, pushcarts and markets in the federal capital. The citizens have started enjoying the popular delights like chicken corn soup, doodh jalebi, gajar ka halwa, kashmiri tea, samosas, pakoras, fried fish and dry fruits. The demand for warm clothes has also registered a significant increase after the prediction of the winter first rain spell by the weather experts.
