Актау's residents wait hours to buy gas
Long lines for car fuel have formed at gas stations in Aktau due to a shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
According to local media, drivers have been queuing for hours to fill up their tanks, with some waiting as long as six hours. The shortage is said to have been caused by a combination of factors, including a rise in demand for LPG, a decrease in supply, and technical problems at a local gas processing plant.
The government has reportedly taken steps to address the shortage, including increasing imports of LPG and allocating additional funds to gas producers.
However, it is unclear when the situation will improve. In the meantime, drivers are being advised to conserve fuel and to avoid unnecessary travel.
Here are some additional details about the situation:
- The shortage has been most severe in the city of Aktau, but it has also been reported in other parts of the Mangystau region.
- The price of LPG has increased by about 20% in recent weeks, making it even more difficult for drivers to afford.
- The government has been criticized for its handling of the situation, with some drivers accusing it of not doing enough to address the shortage.
