LP Gas Industry Association Chairman Assures No Gas Shortage in Market
Summary
Nepal LP Gas Industry Association Chairman Diwan Bahadur Chand says there is no shortage of gas in the market and that supply is running ahead of demand. He urged consumers not to hoard cylinders and said daily imports are being monitored to keep distribution transparent across the country.
Key Points

- He says the apparent shortage is being driven by consumer and seller fear, leading people to stock filled cylinders instead of exchanging empties.

- Distribution details are being shared daily with Nepal Oil Corporation and district administration offices to improve monitoring.
