What happened
The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission raised the price of LPG cylinders. Following this, the LP Gas Traders Cooperative Society announced a nationwide strike for October 15 and 16. The government warned that it would take legal action if LPG traders proceeded with the strike, stating that commercial disputes should be resolved through dialogue.

Global energy disruptions are raising local costs, leading to LPG overcharging due to weak market monitoring in Bangladesh.
