<strong>Saharanpur News:</strong> The intense cold wave and dense fog over the last 24 hours have slowed down the city's pace. Markets like <strong>Nehru Market</strong>, <strong>Pawal Mela Market</strong>, and <strong>Dehradun Chowk</strong> are looking unusually empty, impacting daily wage earners and shopkeepers.
These 3 Businesses Are Worst Hit
- <strong>1. Street Food Stalls (Nehru Market / Dehradun Chowk):</strong> The usual evening crowd is missing. Sales for chaat and street food vendors have reportedly dropped by 40–60% due to the freezing cold.
- <strong>2. E-Rickshaw & Auto Drivers (Pawal Mela Route):</strong> With fewer passengers stepping out in the morning and late evening fog, daily earnings for drivers have taken a sharp hit.
- <strong>3. Construction Sites:</strong> Labor availability has decreased due to the harsh weather, causing work at many private construction sites to slow down or halt temporarily.
⚠️ <strong>Weather Warning:</strong> 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.
<strong>Quick Tip:</strong> 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.
