Rawalpindi:The residents have raised concerns over illegal rise in prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) by the dealers who are now selling this commodity up to Rs200 in sheer violation of the consumers’ laws.
Amir Malik, a resident of a private housing society, said “The dealers were selling LPG at Rs140 per kilogramme but now they are selling it at Rs200 without any permission from the government.”
“When I argued the dealer said the people should be satisfied if they were getting LPG otherwise its shortage could create a crisis at any point in the coming days,” he said Abdul Qayyum, a local shopkeeper, said “I run a general store but I also sell LGP to earn some money. The dealers were providing us LPG at Rs135 per kilogramme few days back. Now they have increased their rates up to Rs170 so how can I sell it at previous prices.”
