As India Sets New AC Temperature Rule, Internet Has A Field Day
Last Updated:
Social media users jumped in with jokes and memes over the new AC temperature limits announcement by Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
If people had the choice, many would turn their rooms into a chilly North Pole during summer. But the coldest setting on most air conditioners is 16°C and going lower just isn't possible. Now, that might change as well. Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar recently announced a new rule for AC use in India. From now on, people can only set their air conditioners between 20°C and 28°C. The news quickly caught attention, and as expected, social media users quickly filled the Internet with their hilarious reactions and creative memes.
With many cities facing extreme temperatures and high electricity demand, the rule is meant to avoid overuse and wastage. While a few believe it's a right step, the majority aren't unhappy with the decision as they feel there are other issues to tackle.
