So does it mean the cold feed is used in conjunction with TRVs of radiators to control temperature?
No. It just keeps the system full of water.

I was trying to figure out why my radiators are cold when the CH is on as when I touched microbores connected to primary flow, they were cold. I traced all pipes up to my loft and eventually discovered that, so I thought it could be a problem as hot water mixes up with cold water. So like you said, regarding the water ingress, what will be the best solution then? Sorry my knowledge of plumbing is poor.
Doesn't have to be teed in from underneath (in fact looping underneath means there is more likelihood of the cold feed blocking) and no issue with the proximity to the pump. There may be issues with the open vent as I can't see exactly where it is connected and it has been raised very high, presumably to resolve a pumping over issue. I'm assuming that the pump is pumping left to right in the picture.

With the limited knowledge you have I'd advise you get someone in However in the mean time, did all your radiators go off at the same time or was it a gradual reduction? What sort of boiler do you have? Room thermostat fitted? Diverter valve fitted?
Realy need to know a bit more about your system design to give you a better idea of what the possible issues may be IMO
