Effect of cold on travelers and markets Passengers traveling in the morning and evening are facing the most problems. Bike riders and bus passengers are seen struggling to escape the cold. The cold has also affected the markets. There is silence in the evening as people prefer to stay indoors due to the cold.

Administration arrangements inadequate To protect from cold, the administration has said to distribute 1500 blankets each to the three tehsils and give Rs 50,000 each for lighting bonfires. But this system is missing at the ground level. Neither bonfires are being lit in public places nor blankets are being distributed among the poor. People living on the footpath are trying to escape the cold by burning garbage.

Plight of patients and relatives In the Memorial and District Women’s Hospital, there is neither provision for night shelter nor for lighting bonfires for the attendants accompanying the patients. People are forced to spend shivering nights burning garbage on the roadside. There is a night shelter in the joint hospital, but there is no arrangement for bonfire here either.

Negligence of municipal administration Adarsh ​​Nagar Palika Parishad Balrampur has not made proper arrangements to deal with the cold. People are upset due to lack of arrangements for lighting bonfires at intersections and public places. An attempt was made to contact Municipality Executive Officer Lal Chandra Maurya in this regard, but no response was received.

Cold and possibility of increase Meteorologists say that the cold will increase further in the coming days. Due to lack of arrangements from the administration, there is little hope of people getting relief. The common people now expect arrangements for bonfire and blankets from the administration soon.
