In Pictures: Long queues for milk powder

News

With milk powder continuing to be in such short supply in the market, the public continue having to spend hours in long queues in places where some stocks are available.

These photographs were taken at the Highland outlet located at the Narahenpita Economic Centre today, where members of the public stood in long lines waiting to purchase milk powder. Only a limited number of packets are being issued to each consumer owing to the severe shortage currently on the market.
