Activities of LPG mafia going unchecked since long
Steps demanded to save people of remote areas from victimization
Islamabad: [October 31]
The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Monday asked the Chief Justice Pakistan to save the rights of people of remote areas from accesses of LPG mafia.
Onset of winter always provides golden opportunity to the LPG mafia on the cost of people of remote areas who have no other option, it said.
Black-marketing of gas has started soon after the sitting in of winter in the areas where regular gas supply has not been provided pushing people to buy LPG to meet their energy requirements, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President of the PEW.
Different departments have failed to safeguard rights of masses by discouraging cartelisation and negative business practices in LPG sector, he said.
Now people are looking towards Supreme Court to contain black marketing of LPG aimed at making windfall through exploitation, he said.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that officials of petroleum ministry and distributors have often dubbed bottled gas producers as LPG mafia in national assembly standing committees, ECC meetings and on other forums but no serious action has ever been initiated.
The strong mafia is known for bribing politicians to get relaxations and go scot free after creating artificial shortfalls, he said.
Dr. Mughal asked the Chief Justice Pakistan to take note of the situation, take action against all elements discouraging LPG imports and ensure that LPG marketing companies sell commodity after issuing receipts.
