Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Leader MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake today questioned Minister of Trade Bandula Gunawardena as to why the latter was silent with regard to the reduction in gas in cylinders.
Addressing Parliament today, MP Dissanayake pointed out that the Government was cheating the general public via this scam.
He further inquired as to who was the hierarchy between the Government and the Gas production company.
LP gas introduced an 18-litre Premium Hybrid Cylinder to the market at a price of Rs 1,395. The weight of the newly introduced product measures 9.18Kg (18L). The regular 12.5Kg gas cylinder sold by LGL is priced at Rs 1,493.
Although the product has been reduced by about Rs 100, consumers say that the weight has been reduced by 3Kg.(NewsWire)
