RELATED
Fatehpur:
After registering a minimum temperature of below 0 degree Celsius,
which was varying from -5 degrees Celsius to minus 1 degree Celsius in
the past 10 days, Fatehpur dwellers got some relief on Saturday when a
minimum temperature of 6.1 degrees Celsius was recorded.
For many people in Fatehpur, calling up the local agriculture research centre was a routine but on Saturday they were surprised to know that the city's minimum temperature went above 0 degree Celsius.
At 7.30 am when Om Prakash Kalash, farm manager of the agriculture research institute reached the station to see the minimum temperature with a battery of local media persons and some administrative officers, Kalash was surprised and while mapping the wind speed declared, "It is 6.1 degrees Celsius." Thereafter the anxious people started calling up the institute office to know the temperature.
"Look at these farms. I have seen ice on the mustard crop," he said.
Quoting the earlier figure, he said on January 7, 2006 Fatehpur had witnessed its minimum temperature as -5.5 degrees Celsius and this time the city experienced the same temperature on Thursday.
However, a minimum temperature of 6.1 degrees Celsius was not enough to provide relief to the people here but they are enthusiastic about the change in the weather.
"It is still cold but after seeing the minimum temperature go below 0 degree Celsius, it is of course a reason to rejoice," said Ramji Lal Bochiwal, who owns a tea stall outside Fatehpur railway station.
Locals said the weather in the past few days had badly affected the normal life. The officials of the agriculture research institute forecasted that after the cloud cover would be over in a day or the minimum temperature would again go below 0 degree Celsius.
Fatehpur also witnessed a maximum temperature of 22.1 degrees Celsius, which was 7 notches above compared to that on Friday.
Such is the impact of the cold that the women from nearby villages have been selling dry wood for the people for bonfire. "Apart from things like peanuts, gajak and other things found in a grocery shop we can also buy wood from there. People also have the conventional boiler that is ignited using coal to beat the biting cold," said Ramesh Hooda, a local.
