Central Excise Canteen to City Floor Canteen. The effects of the gas problem are felt everywhere. Shopkeepers usually buy gas between Tk 1700 and Tk 1900 in Maidan. Every canteen requires somewhere between two or three gasses a day on an average. Due to the shortage of gas, gas canteens in Maidan have to buy at extra cost at the moment. Due to the black market, the price of each gas cylinder has become 3 to 4 thousand rupees. A few canteens bought gas at that price too. As a result, food prices have increased.
