There'll be no comfort until the rain and cold decrease," he said. At Benapole Land Port, Raju Ahmed, a leader among the handling workers, said they could not proceed with loading and unloading because of the rain on top of the cold and dense fog. Port worker Abdus Selim said it had grown difficult to go out, and those who did leave home could not work properly. Handling worker Rabiul Islam said the sun came out in the afternoon but failed to drive away the cold amid a chilly wind from the north. The extreme cold has disrupted exports and imports, said Azim Uddin Gazi, general secretary of Benapole Transport Agency Owners' Association.
