The Mutiny of the Punka Wallahs

Summary Rumzan the company's punka wallah, who works a cooling fan with his feet, and other punka wallahs throughout the regiments, are to be replaced by electric fans - or electric fannies, as the camp's wheeler-dealer Rangi Ram terms them. The concert party agree to employ him but Williams points out that only officers can have punka wallahs. This leads to general unrest and sympathy strikes by the electricity and telephone employees. Eventually Gunner Solly provides a solution. Rumzan can power a fan by peddling a bicycle and another wallah can cool him.
