Reporters in the press room and senators in the Chandra room had to meet in the hot weather. Some even took off their suits and sweated profusely, even lifting documents to cool themselves, until the staff had to bring fans to help relieve the symptoms first. Before 11:15 a.m., the Office of Facilities announced that the system had been fixed.Source: Thai News Agency
