On March 7, information from Petrolimex Gia Lai One Member Limited Company said that from March 5, it has requested stores to temporarily stop selling gasoline and oil through cans and drums, and at the same time strengthen control of sales activities for all methods.
According to this business, in recent days, through checking data from the Egas management system (a comprehensive management system for gas stations and retail gas station chains) and the surveillance camera system, the unit discovered many cases of customers buying gasoline and oil through cans and drums in large quantities.
While before that, these customers usually only bought in small quantities. The sudden increase caused the amount of gasoline and oil sold at some stores belonging to Petrolimex Gia Lai One Member Limited Company to increase sharply, in some places 5-6 times higher than the average daily level.
The fact that many customers buy and store gasoline and oil through cans and drums in large quantities poses a risk of not ensuring fire safety for customers themselves and for society.
In addition, in the context of rising gasoline and oil prices, some key gasoline and oil stores in some localities have restricted or temporarily stopped selling goods. This has caused supply pressure to rush to the Petrolimex system, which may affect the work of creating goods sources and ensuring stable supply.
