Photo: Collected Our Correspondent, Lalmonirhat Our Correspondent, Lalmonirhat Extreme cold in Kurigram and Lalmonirhat over the past several days has been forcing farmers and agricultural workers to stay inside their homes. The cold has brought day-to-day activities to an almost standstill in the region, especially in villages along the Brahmaputra, Teesta, Dudhkumar and Dharla rivers as well as in river islands or chars. Unable to work out in the cold, low-income daily wage earners including agricultural workers, who cannot afford to buy warm clothes, have been suffering the most.
