According to the release, it has been observed that LPG prices at the retail stage have risen sharply beyond normal levels. The discussions revealed that the country currently has sufficient LPG stock, but local retailers have deliberately created an artificial shortage. The ministry expressed hope that these measures would help bring LPG prices back to normal quickly. Asked about the unusually high price, shopkeeper Azad claimed there was a severe shortage of LPG cylinders. Tamiya Sultana, a resident of the Palli Bidyut area, said her LPG cylinder ran out on Wednesday.
