My aim to inform other about their sufferings and their living condition of the people in this part of the country. Because to me it’s a great issue that people are dying and suffer from winter. Its not only the winter; the main other cause is this part of the country is less developed and economically poor. Hope my work can draw attention from the necessary authority. The photo story about winter affect people in northern part of Bangladesh.Cold wave death toll rises to 72 in 8 districts in Bangladesh. I was reading the newspapers and talking on the phone with my friends and suddenly that news stroked me. I decided to go to that place.Thakurgaon is situated in the northern part of Bangladesh and about four lac (4,00,000) people lives in there.The country's lowest temperature 7.7 degree Celsius was recorded at Thakurgaon this year. A mild to moderate cold wave was also sweeping northern district of Bangladesh.

I was felt so sympathic for those people who have been died because of the cold wave. Other survivors waiting for the help and rescue from this bitter cold and natural disaster.
