KATHMANDU, March 15: The Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) has called on the public to purchase Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders only when absolutely necessary, discouraging unnecessary storage.
The NOC has also asked gas industries and sellers to prioritise the sale and distribution of LPG for household use.
Expiry date of LPG cylinders lacks monitoring
In a press release issued on Saturday, the NOC said that despite the ongoing conflict in West Asia affecting the global supply of petroleum products and LPG, it has been continuing the regular supply and distribution of these products.
The NOC stated, “We request all gas industries nationwide to report to us by 10 am daily, providing details such as the quantity sold, along with the addresses and contact numbers of sellers from their respective industries.”
Furthermore, sellers have been urged to keep records of the names and contact numbers of consumers, along with the quantities sold to them, and relay this information to the NOC through their respective industries each day.
The NOC has also announced that, in light of the current circumstances, it has arranged for all gas industries to market and fill 7.1-kilogram LPG cylinders at a reduced price of Rs 955 per cylinder, effective from Friday until further notice.
