LPG price policy on cards: Nasrul
State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said on Tuesday the government is working to formulate an LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) pricing policy with a view to protecting the interests of both importers and users. "Presently, one state-run organisation and 14 private firms have been bottling and marketing the LPG and six more firms would join them from next year after completing their works," he said while replying to a starred-question. Nasrul informed the House that a total of 15 firms including one public entity have been supplying LPG across the country in line with the present government LPG policy. — BSS
