The government is set to take initiatives to solve the disputed issues between Gas Dealers Federation Nepal (GDFN) and Nepal LPG Industry Association (NLPGIA).

As several rounds talks between these two institutions failed, the Ministry of Commerce and Supply has decided to take initiatives to resolve the issue in order to control the shortage of cooking gas in the market.

The agitating gas dealers have also sealed some of the gas industries.

The bottlers have been reluctant to provide the commission that is fixed by the government and removal of old LPG cylinders, according to dealers. The dealers have also stopped taking shipment of LPG from bottling plants as part of their protest.

Though the government raised their commission by Rs. 4 per cylinder, they have been getting only Rs. 2 as their commission, said the dealers.
