Decision to strike jointly taken against government's new price determination procedure, Senior Vice Chairman

LPG Associations have announced country-wide strike against introduction of new formula by government for determination of LPG prices.

According to announcement of Association, strike will start from November 16 and during this period it has been decided to keep sale of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) closed.

Senior Vice Chairman of LPG Marketers Association Ali Haider, rejecting government pricing formula, has said that sale of LPG will be suspended across country from November 16. According to Ali Haider, in emergency meeting of all concerned associations, decision of strike jointly was taken against government's new price determination procedure.

He said that with implementation of government formula, LPG prices can increase by 25 to 30 percent, due to which associations have refused to accept this procedure.
