As the mercury continues to rise, this summer is becoming unbearable in many parts of the country. Frustrated by the extreme heat, students at an educational institute in Amritsar staged a unique protest to demand air conditioning in their dorm rooms. A video, reportedly from IIM Amritsar, shows students sleeping in the institute's mess as a mark of silent protest against the management's failure to provide adequate cooling facilities in the dorms amid the heatwave.

According to reports, the mess is one of the few areas of the IIM Amritsar hostel where AC has been installed. The video shows students sleeping on canteen chairs with their heads down, with one even lying on a table.
The caption of the video shared on X reads, ''IIM Amritsar students protested against the management to get AC installed in their hostel by sleeping in the library that has AC. One of them said, "Modern problem requires modern solution''. The user further corrected his tweet and mentioned that the place where students slept was the mess area and not the library.
