Queue woes for elderly pensioners

Kamareddy: Several pensioners were seen standing anxious and irritated while waiting for their turn to get the pension at the pension office in Domakonda mandal headquarters on Wednesday.

The queue of the waiting beneficiaries stretched for about half kilometre under the hot sun. Many people, who are standing in the queue since morning, expressed their intolerance. They said they got up early in the morning and stood in line for the pension, leaving all chores untouched. 'We neither had tea nor lunch.'

The pensioners felt that it would have been better if the pension amount is credited into their bank accounts. In that case, there would be no waiting and no problems, which they are facing now every month.
