Fresh increase in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) price by almost Rs5 per kilogram is unjustified as profiteers in LPG marketing sector have enhanced prices while sidelining ministry of petroleum and Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA). Little increase in international price of the gas is being touted as an excuse. LPG marketing companies have enhanced the price by five times in the country which is highly unjustified, Muhammad Irfan Khokhar Chairman LPG Distributors Association (LPGDA) told Profit. Reacting over the fresh development which would cause an increase of almost Rs60 in the price of a domestic cylinder and Rs240 per commercial cylinder, LPGDA has written a letter to Prime Minister of Pakistan to immediately take notice of the issue.
