Some may be aware that the LPG suppliers in the TRNC (x 2) last week wanted to increase domestic gas bottles by 30% due to global price increase of LPG. The decision has been referred to the council of ministers this week, and radio silence since then.

LPG suppliers say no old stock and only new stock at increased price. Yesterday we went to buy gas (we have koop bottles) and couldn't find any - one garage said there are no gas bottles anywhere at the moment (we are in Catalkoy and went as far as Karakum). A TC friend confirmed there are no gas bottles at the moment.

Is anyone else having an issue? If not, has anyone seen koop gas bottles for sale?

Thanks all.

All the gas supply markets in our area , Karsiyaka , say they have no gas . All of their lockable compounds are empty . If they had sold all of their old stock these compounds would be full of empty bottles . They have obviously removed their old stock until the price goes up to make an increased profit . The only shop that appears not to have done this is the one on the Square at Chamlibel , that is where our gas will come from in future . We will not support these profiteering greedy people .

Just been announced that its gone up to 107tl so will all reappear today https://www.yeniduzen.com/tup-gaza-17-t ... 43693h.htm

Having just read the article in yeniduzen, I wonder what action was taken against the perpetrators who wanted a 32tl increase. Will we ever know??

In the statement made by the Fuel Unit of the Ministry of Economy and Energy, it was stated: “The 30 TL hike requested for bottled gas was not accepted by the Ministry, and as a result of the negotiations, a price adjustment of 17 TL for bottled gas was approved by our Ministry.”
In this process, it was also announced that the companies that learned that the gas would be increased and that they did not put bottled gas on the market but stockpiled, were also identified and action was taken against them.
