2 gas stations shutdown over safety requirements

One of the gas stations located in Amasaman was closed down after a gas leakage was detected on an inspection tour the GNFS.

The other one, located at Pokuase, was closed down for flouting fire safety measures including not having a legal permit for the siting of the station.
