LPG association urges sale of cylinders at govt-set price

The LPG Operators Association of Bangladesh
(LOAB) has urged distributors and retailers to sell LPG cylinders at
government-fixed prices.
Association President Mohammad Amirul Haque said
in a press release that a commerce ministry letter dated 7 April noted LPG
cylinders were being sold above the government-set price in various parts of
the country at the consumer level.
However, he said LPG bottling companies are
supplying cylinders at the government-fixed rate.
It further added that the Directorate of
National Consumer Rights Protection and deputy commissioners have already been
instructed to conduct drives and take strict legal action against such
irregularities.
At a time of global energy crisis, it is our
moral responsibility to reduce public suffering, it said.
In this context, the association urged all
distributors and retailers involved in the LPG business to sell cylinders at
the government-fixed price.
