ICT seals three outlets for LPG decanting

Islamabad: The district administration of Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) under its ongoing drive against decanting of LPG Friday sealed three outlets posing serious threats to human lives and public property. According to a spokesman of ICT, Assistant Commissioner (AC) Potohar Mehreen Baloch raided and sealed three LPG decanting shops including Talha Gas agency and Kundi Gas agency.

Besides, she issued warning to another LPG outlet over selling the commodity in violation of prices notified by Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA). Meanwhile, DC Hamza Shafqaat said illegal manufacturing and decanting of cylinders would not be allowed, and passed orders to all assistant commissioners to launch an effective crackdown against black-marketers selling LPG on exorbitant rates. Owing to low gas pressure in winter, people have turned to alternative sources.
