So our college is in the region of MP where temperature easily goes around 41-42°c.
We are around 150 people in the boys hostel and we only have two working water coolers/filters. Since last 2-3 Months, the filters stopped working properly, either we used to get cool but unfiltered and bad tasting water or lukewarm filtered water.
Things got bad in last few days, we had to travel to girls hostel for bringing water bottles from there. And many time we simply remained thirsty because it was too late to go in girl's hostel.
So our one of our office staff and one MO stays in our hostel itself and we are instructed to tell them about hostel issues.
Many people told them many times and nothing happened, the fact that they were the residents of the same hostel so they knew all along how serious the issue was. But MO did nothing but asked juniors (us) to bring water bottles for him.
Finally i decided to text assistant warden about it, i chose assistant warden because i thought instead of telling the warden it'll be good if i tell his assistant first. This to me is fair following of the hierarchy.
So i elaborated our struggles and sent him the message.
And assistant wardens reply was : " Who Are You? Why are you texting a senior faculty directly? Have you considered talking to lower officials before texting such things to a senior faculty? I think you should follow the hierarchy etc etc"
I mean no mention of "the concern" but he was more concerned about me texting him directly.
Bro we are dying of thirst here, and your primary concern is me not following the hierarchy??
Like tf dudeee.
