65-year-old Joyalus Hawari of Virganj Metropolitan City-13 Maldives Tol was sitting on a chair on the path of the courtyard to warm herself from the mild sun seen on Thursday afternoon. His paralyzed body was shivering with cold. She was wearing a thin sweater on Aang.

 'The sun has been shining for many days, I have gone out to warm up,' she said, 'Even though the sun is shining, the cold is unbearable, the body vibration has not stopped.' She said that it made daily life difficult. 'One is that the body is heavy with paralysis, the cold is a big disaster for us poor people,' she said, 'for us, we don't need warm clothes or vinegar.' Winter has also made Sahjahan Ansari's daily life difficult. Due to paralysis, the left side of the body has stopped moving, and her speech has also disappeared . There is only a plastic mat on her bed while forced to hide the winter with thin clothes. The pillow is a thin blanket . Daughter-in-law Mayra Khatun said that they are living in a rented house.

She said that her mother-in-law was more distressed after the winter. "We have been working for a long time, we have not been able to arrange warm clothes and thick clothes," she said, "We are worried about how to protect our disabled mother-in-law in the winter, the cold wave is causing havoc for poor people like us." Sheetalar has caused suffering to the poor in Terai. Children and the elderly have suffered even more due to the lack of warm clothes to cover the winter.

Life has become unstable due to the continuous cold wave in Terai-Madhesh. After the cold, the traffic on the road is thin. Due to cold, the number of children admitted to the hospital has increased. Locals have felt some relief after the sunshine on Thursday.

Cold wave has affected the lives of people in Chandrapur-8 Dumaria in Rautahat, Musahar in Ward No. 9 Chetnagar and Dome Basti in Harsaha in Brindavan. Sanjay Mallik of Dhamura said that he and his children were suffering from the heart-breaking winter. "We haven't been able to leave the house in winter," he said, "without warm clothes, it will be winter for poor people like us." Health workers say that cold waves make the elderly and children sick. Abhishek Adhikari, a doctor at Chandrapur Hospital, said that since the cold has increased, four/five children have been admitted every day due to pneumonia. Children of Chetnagar's Musahar slum have started getting sick from cold.

Children across the district have stopped coming to school after it started getting cold. The local level has closed the school for two days after the teaching of the school started to be affected. Gaur, Ishanath, Chandrapur, Brindavan, Fatuwavijaipur, Rajdevi, Yamunamai, Gonahidebahi municipalities of the district have closed schools till Friday.

Chief Administrative Officer Subhash Thakur said that Gaur municipality has closed schools in the city area for 3 days due to extreme cold.

Chief District Officer Hiralal Regmi said that all the 18 municipalities of Rautahat have arranged to burn firewood in village markets and squares to avoid human losses due to cold waves. The cold has affected Dalit slums the most.

Misery in Musharbasti 

9-month-old Bikki of Tillathi Koiladi Village-8 of Saptari has been ill for eight days due to constant cold. He is suffering from cold and fever. "Shitalahar is not taking labor". Staying at home is stressful,' said Bikki's grandmother Geetadevi Sada, 'I took my grandson to Rajviraj and showed him to the doctor . But the medicine is not working . The cold wave has increased the number of patients.'

Geethadevi, who is living in a hut on the western canal of Kosi, says that her village is suffering from the cold wave. This settlement of Naharchheu belongs entirely to Musahar . Most of the families are facing problems due to the cold wave. 'There is a big hole in the roof of the house, we live on the side of the canal where the water is flowing, on top of that there is a house with mud and wind,' said Geethadevi, 'We are not able to survive the winter due to the lack of enough clothes to wear and cover. She said that even the way to work and eat was blocked by the cold wave. "There is no position to light the stove because of not being able to earn wages," she said. A mud house does not withstand cold waves . As the cold waves rise, the moose sleep on beds of straw without roofs. There is a lack of warm clothes to wear. "The cold winds blow from morning to evening, and the snoring has become a problem," local Anitadebi Sada said , there is a situation where we have to stay warm in the shelter till night,' she said. It has come.' There is another Musharbasti near

, in North Tilathi Koiladi Village-8. The situation is the same there. Bhullan Sada, a local resident, said that it was difficult for them to escape the cold wave due to the lack of strong roofs and warm clothes. 'We poor people always have problems, even the weather,' said Bhullan, 'even rain and floods enter our house, winter and cold waves also eat us.' He narrated . Musahar laborers here work in cutting soil and doing wage work. Even if they work for twelve months, they don't get salary to improve their economic life.

If you demand more wages, you will not get a job . After the onset of the cold wave, it has become difficult for the large number of moose in Madhesh to spend their daily lives. The total population of Musahar community in Nepal is 264,974. Most of the Mushars are landless, sheltering around rivers, canals and roads.
