The blockades in Ica leave the first effects of fuel shortages in southern regions. LPG is also not for sale in taps and interprovincial ticket prices increased.
The city of Tacna begins to face the effects of the blockades in the South Pan American in Ica. This Wednesday, January 25, the only domestic gas bottling company that operates in the city, Surgas Tacna, reported that its stock of balls was exhausted after receiving its last tanker six days ago.
Edwin Mendoza, manager of Surgas, explained that gas cylinders will not be sold until further notice. Similarly in the cities of Ilo and Moquegua, where they also supply gas. In Ilo, the companies that still have stock sell the ball at 65 soles.
In Tacna several distributors have informed their clients that they do not have gas. Families currently buy up to two hit balls to avoid the shortage that occurred in December, with the previous stoppages. The price in plants is S/45, while delivery is quoted at S/55.
Likewise, the Tacna taps exhausted their reserves of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Since early Wednesday morning, there have been long queues of vehicles and by noon, the fuel had run out in Tacna.
On the other hand, interprovincial transport is also affected. No company from the Manuel A. Odría National Terminal It offers departures to Lima, only to Ica and the value of the ticket amounts to S/180. Tickets to Arequipa are sold at S/50 and S/60.
