I agree with the post above and would like to add that an AC at 50 degree Celcius is not a luxury, its a necessity. And the person who started this thread was not demanding an official AC, he was merely asking whether one can arrange it on his own?

Secondly an AC is in no way a hindrance to "serving people". An officer sitting in a comfortable room is sure to be in a better frame of mind to deal with people compared to one who has sweat dripping down his face.

Thirdly, as someone pointed out that millions of Pakistanis dont even have a fan in their homes so the Civil servants, as a symbol of unity should bear the heat with them. My friend may I point out that those millions also dont have official cars, official guards, official servants, official houses spread across acres etc. So how about the ultimate gesture of unity and shunning all these official privileges to be at the same level as the masses?
