Adulterated LPG Sales Pose a Growing Threat in Pakistan

A shocking report reveals that adulterated LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is being sold in Pakistan, endangering the lives of consumers.
According to Irfan Khokhar, Chairman of the LPG Distributors Association, carbon dioxide is being mixed with LPG, causing the cylinder pressure to rise dangerously. This malpractice has led to an increase in cylinder explosions, creating panic among users.


OGRA’s Crackdown

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has launched a crackdown on companies involved in adulteration, seizing multiple containers and sending samples for lab testing.

Consumer Advice

Consumers are advised to purchase LPG only from certified dealers and avoid unreliable sources.

Why This Matters

Adulteration in LPG not only risks lives but also damages consumer trust in energy providers. Strict regulations and consumer awareness are essential to combat this issue.
