BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 3. To date, the price of liquefied natural gas has increased in Tajikistan, Trend reports with reference to asiaplustj.info.
Currently, a liter of liquefied gas in Tajikistan costs from 7 to 8 somoni ($0.68 - $0.78), depending on the regions, and four days ago the price was about 6.2 - 6.5 somoni ($0.60-$0.63) per liter.
Local drivers claim that there is a shortage of fuel in addition to price increases. The sale of liquefied gas has been completely suspended at gas stations in Bokhtar for the past three days.
