Despite official reassurance that
there is enough fuel in stock, consumers in Arkhangai, Selenge and Khuvsgul
aimags see several signs of shortage. Admitting this, Deputy Governor of
Arkhangai aimag G.Chuluunbaatar told the Uls Turiin Toim newspaper that
customers at petrol stations were not being allowed to buy more than 20 liters
of AI-92 in one purchase. Workers at the stations said they have been told fuel
reserves are low.
Referring to the same kind of
restriction in Khuvsgul province, the Chief of the Citizens Representatives
Assembly has said the sale of AI-92 had to be controlled as many guests came to
the province during Naadam and much more petrol was sold than estimated. He assured
that there is enough stock but petrol stations are selling between 20 and 40
liters in one purchase just as a precautionary measure.
The Chief of the Citizens
Representatives Assembly of Bayankhongor aimag, however, has denied any
restriction on the sale of AI-92 in the province.
