Govt should start selling LPG :
There’s no denying that the government has made substantial progress in terms of reducing the energy gap of the country. In Dhaka, people now seldom experience load-shedding.
Over the years, extraction of natural gas has also increased, but it is yet to fulfil the current demand. The government has taken steps to import LNG to reduce the gap.
However, there’s still a huge gap between demand and supply of LPG, which has mostly domestic uses. Private sector enterprises enjoy a monopoly in the LPG trade in our country. The government should start selling LPG so that consumers can get regular supply of it at a competitive price.
