LPG hikes by Rs 10

The price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been soared by Rs10 per kilogram on Friday. The gas, after this hike, settled at Rs140/kg in Fata, Swat and Gilgit. LPG Distributors Association President Irfan Khokhar said the LPG domestic cylinder price advanced Rs10/kg to Rs118 and the commercial cylinder smashed ahead to Rs472. Khokhar said the recent hike by the LPG Marketing companies is utterly unwarranted, which has posted a record increase in the gas price across the country. The gas surged to Rs105/kg in Lahore and Gujranwala; while Rawalpindi, Multan, Rahim Yar Khan, Hyderabad and Mirpur have LPG at 110/kg. The gas is at 125/kg in Peshawar, Muzaffarabad, Bagh and Rawalakot.
