Mr. Nguyen Ky Quan - an officer of the Economic - Infrastructure Department of Quynh Luu district said that recently, the department has issued many official dispatches directing localities to review households that do not meet the conditions for trading liquefied gas to take measures to remind and handle them; requiring households to ensure full conditions for business and fire prevention and fighting.
However, currently, most gas businesses often sell gas with other products, the annual consumption is small, so it is difficult to count and verify. When an inspection team discovers violations, these businesses explain that they have not been trained or provided with basic information...
According to the reflection of the Captain of the Management - Administration Team of Quynh Luu District Police, throughInspection showed that most unlicensed gas businesses sell in small quantities, from 5 to 10 gas cylinders, and sell them with other household appliances and goods.
