The month of February is becoming the hotter day by day. Now, people are worrying about the heat conditions in March, April and May. Since October, there has been no rain in the state, which has also caused the temperature to rise. On the other hand, dense fog is seen in some parts of the state. As a result, traffic is being disrupted in the mornings.
