following the recent reduction in the price of cooking gas cylinders in Sharjah by Dh15 to 20.
A large number of Ajman residents are buying cooking gas cylinders through Sharjah gas distributing companies, to save money. They are also demanding that the authorities concerned in Ajman should follow the initiative taken by the Sharjah Department of Economic Devlopment (SDED) in controlling the recent price hike in the case of cooking gas cylinders.
In Ajman, the price of cooking gas cylinders shot up twice in three months by more than Dh15. The medium-size cylinder which was sold for Dh66 now costs Dh80, large-size cylinders sold earlier for Dh122 now cost Dh150, while the small 11 kg cylinder which was sold for Dh33 now costs Dh40.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Mohammed Al Bakheet, a resident of Ajman said: “I am still using a Sharjah cooking gas cylinder, but I have now moved to Ajman due to high house rents, the news about gas cylinders being cheaper in Sharjah has forced me to once again source my cylinders from there."
Murtada M said, “Following the high cost of living in this country, we are trying to benefit from any opportunity which allows us to save even a dirham. As a result my wife has now decided to buy a Sharjah a gas cylinder and have it filled from Sharjah."
Zaki Mansour said, "My brother who lives in Sharjah has several Sharjah gas cylinders and he can purchase a filled gas cylinder for me as well." Bijit Mathew, manager of Al Injaz Gas distribution in Ajman, said the cooking gas cylinder price rose in Ajman due to a hike in the price of oil and other consumer items.
An official from Economic Department in Ajman said that the department is aware of the issue and has been following it up closely with gas production companies to come up with a permanent solution.
