TAY NINH — Authorities in the southern province of Tay Ninh on Sunday ordered a petrol station closed for three months after catching it filling customers' plastic cans and bags for the second time within a few days.

Hoang Hau filling station in the border district of Chau Thanh District had been found committing a similar offence just four days earlier by the Market Management Agency, and had been fined.

It was the second petrol station in the province to face the authorities' wrath. Last week the market agency closed a pump operated by the Sai Gon Equipment and Accessories JVC in Loi Thuan Commune, Ben Cau District.


They have fined eight others for the same violation.

Provincial authorities recently ordered filling stations along the border with Cambodia not to sell fuel to customers in plastic bags and cans to prevent cross-border smuggling.

Despite a fuel price hike announced by the Vietnamese Government on February 24, prices in Viet Nam remain much lower than in neighbouring countries.

Dam Ba Van, director of a fuel trading company in the another border province, Long An, said petrol prices in Cambodia are VND3,000 per litre higher.

The popular A92 petrol costs VND19,300 in Viet Nam after the latest hike.
