Saharanpur News: The intense cold wave and dense fog over the last 24 hours have slowed down the city's pace. Markets like Nehru Market, Pawal Mela Market, and Dehradun Chowk are looking unusually empty, impacting daily wage earners and shopkeepers.
These 3 Businesses Are Worst Hit
- 1. Street Food Stalls (Nehru Market / Dehradun Chowk): The usual evening crowd is missing. Sales for chaat and street food vendors have reportedly dropped by 40–60% due to the freezing cold.
- 2. E-Rickshaw & Auto Drivers (Pawal Mela Route): With fewer passengers stepping out in the morning and late evening fog, daily earnings for drivers have taken a sharp hit.
- 3. Construction Sites: Labor availability has decreased due to the harsh weather, causing work at many private construction sites to slow down or halt temporarily.
⚠️ Weather Warning: According to the Meteorological Department, dense fog conditions will likely continue for the next 48 hours. Shop owners and daily commuters are advised to plan their shifts accordingly.
Quick Tip: If you run a business in these areas, consider reducing evening stock to avoid wastage and focusing on digital/phone orders until the sun comes out.
