Following flood-related disruptions to LPG transportation and supply, the government has introduced a temporary measure to ease shortages in Kathmandu Valley. Consumers can now provide an empty cylinder from any brand and purchase a filled cylinder from another available brand at the prescribed price. The government has directed Nepal Oil Corporation and LPG industries to implement the arrangement immediately and warned of strict legal action against businesses creating artificial shortages, refusing cylinder exchanges or violating the rules.
