LPG Traders Cooperative Society Limited has suspended LPG supply and marketing across the country from Thursday (December 8).
The strike will continue until their demands are met.
During a human chain protest in front of the Jatiya Press Club on Wednesday, leaders and members of the society announced the strike highlighting the ongoing crisis and alleged mismanagement in the LPG sector.
They have demanded fresh price adjustments within 24 hours.
According to the society’s presidentSelim Khan, BERC has set new prices without consulting distributors, creating hardships for companies, distributors, and consumers alike. Instead of resolving the crisis, unnecessary controversy is being created over pricing. Raids by inexperienced Consumer Rights Protection Directorate have further panicked the market and forced many traders to shut down.
He called for the formation of a permanent regulatory committee and demanded increased commissions for distributors and retailers.
