Is Litro doubledealing again?

SUMITH DE SILVA

Blue gas company which is Litro gas (don’t mix up with Blue Gas at Diyawanna which we see daily on TV news) denies vehemently the allegation levelled against it for changing the composition of the cooking gas, which resulted in gas explosions recently, through their media releases and TV press briefings, People have not forgotten how Litro gas deceived the public a few months ago by using an underhand tactic, in a surreptitious ‘Reye Daniel dawal Migel” style. Thanks to Daily Mirror for their extensive investigative journalism through which the DM tested the quantity of gas by their own team at an independent testing company and proved that Litro has deceived the public while consumer security giant CAA also gave vague answers favouring Litro, which is owned by S L Insurance. The system adopted was to reduce the quantity of gas in the 12.5 old cylinder and also reduce the price of the new cylinder which contained lesser gas than before, making a solid profit of Rs 450 approximately from each cylinder – but ignorant people thought that gas prices were reduced by Litro. While arguments were going forth up and down, people suffered the loss for about 2 months while Litro gas made quick bucks through their gas scam.

Therefore it proves that Litro gas has a highly dubious character and a deceiving history, therefore what they utter at press conferences will be totally rejected by the public. We await DM team to deliver us the correct and truthful facts as before.
