Fog shrouds Uttar Pradesh
Gonda (UP): People are facing tough time in Uttar
Pradesh's Gonda district due to heavy fog. The traffic
moved at a snail's pace for most part of the day as the
roads remained enveloped by thick blanket of fog leading
to poor visibility. People lit bonfire, the time-tested
method of warding-off cold wave or they preferred to stay
inside their dwellings. "Fog has affected life in the
past three to four days. Because of this, people prefer
to stay back inside their homes," said Ranm Kumar Gupta,
a resident. Moreover, the fog, accompanied by cold wave
has hit the labourers of the region who are facing difficulties
in getting work. "The severe cold which is affecting the
demand for manual labour as people think that the pace
of workers in doing work would be hampered by fog. For
last 15 days, we are witnessing this phenomenon which
has led to loss of work for us," said Shiv Shankar, a
labourer, who travels about 24 kilometres every day to
come to the city market in search of work.
