3 kilo Gas was Rare, Disdagperin Bengkalis Told this...

News24xx.com - Responding to the scarcity of LPG gas the size of 3 kilograms since the last few weeks, Disdagperin Bengkalis said that it did not know the exact cause of the scarcity.

Head of Bengkalis Disdagperin, Indra Gunawan said, with the current scarcity of LPG whether there is a lot of demand or many needs are increasing.

Or the public is looking for cheap LPG. "I also don't know, sometimes there is a high demand," Indra said, Thursday, November 14, 2019.

"Is the demand or need at the end of this day increasing so that they are looking for cheap LPG especially less than half the price," he continued.

The former Expert Staff of the Regent of Bengkalis said, if there is a small cooking business or a business that uses 3 kilograms of LPG, they are trying to make a profit.

"If in LPG, it can get a bigger profit, because it is half the price. Compared to 5.5 kilo gas or 12 kilo gas. Why are they looking for the small one, because the 3 kilo LPG gas is only Rp21 thousand," he said .

"Plus, if there are people who sell it again to collectors or small shops, so that the 3 kilo LPG can be sold for Rp. 25 thousand to Rp. 26 thousand. There is sometimes scarcity," he explained.

Questioning whether or not there was a decisive action from Disdagperin, Indra revealed, the matter of strict action was not possible. Because Disdagperin only monitors and reports it.

"For this LPG problem, we already have an idea, together with the head of the field, Pertamina and the LPG gas agents, to find a solution as to what is the way out of this gas scarcity," he said.

"Is there any value such as a closed quota, and whether it can be applied and there are restrictions such as what," he concluded.
