AS has been the case for the last few days, farmers waited in gargantuan queues at the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society (PACS) office in Thipparthi from the wee hours of Wednesday hoping to buy urea.

But, as expected, as soon as the office was opened the waiting farmers were welcomed with a "No Stock" board.

Enraged by this, the farmers staged a protest in front of the office, demanding adequate supply of urea.

They said they had been visiting the office for over a week, only to be turned away with a "No Stock" sign.

Farmer P Ellaiah said he had queued up from 3 am on Wednesday after hearing that a consignment had arrived the previous evening.

"Only 200 bags were delivered while nearly 500 farmers were waiting here," he said.
