Long queues were seen near Jubili Kanuwa, Mirihana area for milk powder despite the Police directive not to.
On an earlier occasion, the Mirihana Police had informed the milk shop owner to follow the number system or other suitable procedure preventing the queuing of people, following the instructions by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
However, the directive has been disregarded amidst the severe shortage of milk powder in the market, demonstrating the desperation of the people.
