Dhaka, Oct. 13 -- Electricity, Energy and Mineral Resources Adviser Muhammad Faozul Kabir Khan has said that traders must take responsibility for controlling LPG prices. He urged businesspeople to move away from the culture of excessive profit-making and money laundering, adding that political figures and their allied traders are involved in the ongoing gas crisis.
Calling the reduction of LPG prices a major challenge, the adviser noted that cylinders priced at Tk 1,200 are being sold for Tk 1,400 to Tk 1,500.
He made these remarks at a discussion titled "LPG in Bangladesh: Economy, Environment and Safety," organized by the daily Bonik Barta at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel in the capital.
