FPCCI President Atif Ikram Sheikh needed one new law to the oil and gas regulatory authority to meet the realistic supply chain ground of LPG in Pakistan. He furthered this law, not including the retailer and distributor until it stops causing incidences at retail levels.
He emphasized that the distributor would then automatically be legally bound to give their accounts of supplies to retail shops. Everyone in the industry needs licenses and must follow the national LPG rules.
