With the arrival of an especially severe winter season in Kashmir, the demand for modern heating gadgets has soared, as residents of the valley seek relief from the biting cold.
The region, experiencing an unpredictable snowfall pattern and plummeting temperatures, has seen a surge in the purchase of various heating appliances.
Temperatures are consistently dipping, particularly during the morning and evening hours, creating a dire need for reliable heating solutions.
To combat the extreme cold, people are turning to an array of heating devices available in the market, such as blowers, room heaters, gas heaters, heating convectors, and kerosene heaters.
Due to frequent curtailments in electricity supply, many consumers are opting for gas-powered or power-saving heaters that provide an efficient alternative.
These gadgets are in high demand, especially because they operate independently of the unstable power grid, offering much-needed warmth during these frigid times.
The heating devices are widely available in popular commercial areas such as Lal Chowk, Koker Bazar, Maisuma, and Batamaloo markets, where dealers report brisk business.
Shopkeepers are witnessing significant sales and are working tirelessly to keep their stocks replenished.
Many of the products are being sold at reasonable prices, making them more accessible to the public.
As the winter deepens, the valley’s reliance on these modern heating solutions is likely to grow, making them a vital component for survival during one of the harshest seasons in Kashmir’s history.
