Long queues in front of ration shops

Long queues in front of ration shops Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA Saroja and her daughter Manjula, who hail from Harapanahalli in Davangere district, work with Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited. Recently, they finished clearing mud accumulated around median in Pandeshwar and came to the ration shop in the area for rice. The ration shop owner asked the two where they were living. After finding out that they lived near Pumpwell Junction, the shopkeeper asked them to approach the ration shop closer to their house. “There is no rice left in the house. For the last few days, we have been eating only rotis. As it is difficult to get time off from work and get ration before the 9 a.m. deadline at a shop closer home, we came here now. Hope my supervisor gives us an off for procuring ration,” said Saroja before leaving the shop dejected, along with her daughter.
