The Ministry noted that despite established price ceilings, essential commodities continue to be traded at inflated rates in various markets. The Ministry has provided a clear mandate to administrative officials to conduct drives and take necessary legal measures to restore market discipline. In a proactive response to the Ministry's April 7 directives, the LPG Operators Association of Bangladesh (LOAB) today issued a statement signed by its President, Mohammad Amirul Haque. Mohammad Amirul Haque mentioned that LPG operators are consistently supplying cylinders at government-mandated prices directly from their bottling plants. Consequently, LOAB has issued a stern appeal for price adherence to the intermediaries including distributors and retailers.
