Specialists also checked 18 vehicles used to transport fuel and lubricants. Samples were taken for examination from one fuel truck carrying 34 tons of oil products.
State revenue authorities are also analyzing the work of 62 gas stations and 22 mini-refineries where an abnormal increase in service volumes was recorded. These facilities will be checked.
Following the meeting, Olzhas Bektenov said the stability of the domestic oil products market remains one of the government’s priorities. He instructed state agencies to monitor the situation daily.
