• People urged to avoid panic buying 
• Gas requirement stabilised

Litro Gas Lanka yesterday announced that they have released more domestic gas cylinders than the daily consumption while stabilising the gas requirement in the local market. 

Litro Gas Lanka Senior Manager Chamani Herath Pathirage said they have sufficient gas stocks to meet the demand in the local market. 

The gas shortage occurred due to an attempt by consumers to obtain gas cylinders for the extra cylinders they had. 

As a result, Litro Gas Lanka requested that consumers only receive gas stocks for their specific needs.  People are urged to avoid panic buying as the company has the potential to issue or release sufficient stock of cylinders to the market in order to meet daily consumption. 

In addition, Litro Gas Lanka urges the public to inform them via 1311 about retailers who sell gas cylinders at higher prices.
