Increase in LPG cost irks Karachi Transport Action Committee

KARACHI: Karachi Transport Action Committee has urged the concerned government authorities to take immediate notice of frequent increase in the cost of liquid petroleum gas (LPG).

Rickshaw drivers and other transporters using LPG and providing people a cost effective mode of transportation must be protected against high handedness of LPG producers and market dealers, they said.
