Night-time dew froze into ice due to sustained low temperatures, with the mercury remaining below 5 degrees Celsius for two successive nights, leading to widespread frost formation.

Several parts of the Koida region witnessed intense frost, with the entire town appearing draped in a white layer during the early morning hours. Open fields, roadsides and residential areas were visibly affected. The highest intensity of frost within theKoidablock was reported from New Garden Colony. Similar conditions prevailed in other areas, including Koida, Kalta, Malda and Tensa.

Across Sundargarh district, severe frost was reported from multiple locations. Agricultural fields were among the worst affected, with grass completely freezing and hardening due to the prolonged cold spell. In some areas, the frost remained visible well into the morning hours.

Impact on Daily Life

The persistent cold has taken a toll on daily activities, particularly in interior villages. Residents reported difficulty in carrying out routine chores, especially during early morning and late night hours. Outdoor work was significantly affected, adding to the hardships of people living in less sheltered areas.

A local resident said that the extreme cold had severely disrupted daily life, causing numbness in hands and legs and making even simple tasks difficult. The resident also noted that witnessing frost-covered fields early in the morning was a rare and unusual experience for the region.

Unusual Winter Phenomenon

Despite the challenges, the rare frost phenomenon drew attention across the area. Residents and stray animals were seen reacting to the icy conditions, with several dogs and puppies spotted playing on frost-covered ground. The unusual scenes underscored the severity of the winter spell being experienced in the region.
