Gas monopoly ends

There will be a price reduction of a domestic gas container of 12.5 kilograms by Rs.125 or 130 in the near future with the newly established company to deal with the gas business in the country, a state minister said.

Minister Alagiyawanna told the media that the unsatisfactory trading of gas by the two companies that had a monopoly on the country’s domestic gas business compelled the government to switch to an alternative strategy and establish the new company.
