Shorts: Using Ice to Battle India's Heat

In India, another sweltering summer grips Ahmedabad, but Shakeela is offered a simple but life-changing way of cooling her home. Meanwhile in Delhi, Pappu escapes the heat by working in an ice factory. High in the mountains of Ladakh there's ice in abundance, and it offers a new solution to a growing problem. But as the country heats, traditional cooling methods are shunned: Indians are getting richer and they're buying more fridges - which only makes global heating worse.
