But it is said that it is harmful to go out for a morning walk in Kathmandu in winter. In winter, colds are common in the morning. The harmful particles in the air are fine carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide and ozone, which make the air harmful or polluted. In winter, the wind is less. Due to which the pollution accumulates in one place. In a city like Kathmandu, the cold-hot air column acts as a blanket during the winter season and keeps pollution at bay.

Parents also asked why my child didn't eat milk why didn't he eat litto? They have never remembered why they did not eat milk. Ther...
