The heat in my city has paralyzed work

The heat in my city Rourkela forced the government to close schools and colleges but a government aided law college president refuses to start a morning shift office. This is totally inhuman. The higher education department and the district administration should keep track of such injustice and take action. People in the office can come at 8 in the morning and go back home at 11 or 12 noon.

They can but they aren't. The administrative staffs logic is that they are paying more and so have the staff made to work for long hours in this heat.

Classes would sometimes get cancelled here too due to the heatwave.

The students are not coming but the clerical staff have to come to the office and work until Sunset.

Why don’t these places put in air conditioning? These are important places, I can’t understand ignoring this kind of need. It seems cruel to make these people come in when others do not have to.

It would make sense to start earlier when it's so hot. I guess the president has air-conditioning for himself.
