Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai on Thursday called the dealers of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for talks.
Dealers were surprised by the call, our correspondent Bigyan Adhikari informed.
The call for the meeting comes at a time when the desperate locals are taking control of the vehicles ferrying refilled LPG cylinders.
On Wednesday locals of Sallaghari, Bhaktapur seized two vehicles carrying LPG cylinders of Himal Gas Company.
The vehicles were transporting 194 gas cylinders from Sanga, where the company is based, to Kathmandu for retailing through the network of authorized dealers.
The consumers, reeling under the shortage of fuel for more than a month, suddenly sprung into action when they saw the vehicles transporting a large number of refilled cylinders.
Similarly, the locals in Dallu on Thursday tried to seize the vehicles carrying the LPG cylinders but failed as police foiled their intentions.
