Due to lack of proper facilities in the hostel, the students have protested in a unique way.
Leader Online Desk: A severe drought is currently going on in Punjab. Meanwhile, AC facility has not been provided in the student hostel of Indian Institute of Amritsar (IIM). Due to the issue of Ukhada, the students have protested in a remarkable manner. Students of IIM Amritsar have shown their protest by sleeping in the institute's mess cum canteen.
The management may provide AC facilities in the institute's mess and canteen, but students living in hostels are not provided with AC facilities, the students said. So it is difficult for students to study in hot sun. In this regard, students have also shared a video on social media, in which students are seen sleeping in the canteen. Institutes charge huge fees from students. It charges a fee of Rs 25 lakh for a two-year course. But the students say that facilities are not provided in the hostel. The students have raised their voice to the administration many times, but no official is ready to listen to them.

Director of IIM Amritsar Dr. Nagarajan Ramamurthy said that the students had complained to him about the matter. He said that the institution has taken the hostel building on rent. The main hostel of the institute is currently under construction. The power supply lines in the existing hostel building are not capable of withstanding the heavy voltage. Air coolers will be installed in the hostel rooms in the coming days to combat the heat.
