Nepal LP Gas Industry Association Chairman Shiva Prasad Ghimire has said that the association will distribute full cooking gas cylinders to consumers even if government does not permit it.
He said that the distribution of half-filled cooking gas cylinders has increased production cost while it has equally been troublesome to the consumers.
Addressing a programme organised by Reporters Club Nepal on Friday, Ghimire said that the association has already sent a written request to the government towards this end and informed the full cylinders will be sent to the market in few days.
“The distribution of half-filled cylinders has increased the cost of production and transportation,” he said, “If the government agrees bear our extra cost, we will continue with the distribution of half-filled cylinders.”
Also speaking in the programme, Nepal Oil Corporation Spokesperson Mukunda Prasad Ghimire said that the gas distribution will not be eased for now since Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) refused to boost fuel supply. “55 gas bullets are required daily but IOC has been loading not more than 15 gas bullets on a daily basis,” Ghimire said.
Ghimire assured that the distribution of petrol and diesel will be eased within next week.
