CHARSADDA: The residents of Charsadda have complained that LPG cylinders are being sold openly in the district without any check from relevant officials.

They said that filling LPG cylinders in congested residential areas could cause any unpleasant incident, harming precious lives. They criticised district administration for not keeping check on the business.

Locals demanded of administration to shift the shops and warehouses of LPG cylinders from congested areas. They said that the business of refilling LPG cylinder reached its peak in different residential areas besides bazaars and markets in the district.

They said that the business was thriving owing to increasing demand for LPG cylinders and excessive loadshedding and low voltage of gas in the district. They demanded of the district administration and relevant departments to take stern action against the illegal business in Charsadda.
