• Supplies only to cities and essential services

Domestic gas will be supplied only to cities and essential services until the country recovers from the economic crisis, and it has been decided to supply only half of the gas demand in the future, a Litro Gas company official said.    

The daily LPG supply was at 80,000 cylinders. With that decision, the gas supply has been reduced to 30,000, he said.   

He asserted that only 27% of consumers used gas.  Considering the current situation, the country needs US $ 30 million a month to meet its gas demand and everyone must make a commitment to rebuild the country.
