The All Ceylon Bakery Owners' Association has raised concerns about the bakery industry's struggle to sustain itself due to the escalating gas prices. 

The sale of bakery products has witnessed a significant decline of 25%, Chairman of the All Ceylon Bakery Owners' Association N K Jayawardena said.

Despite the rising gas prices, Jayawardena emphasizes that the industry will refrain from increasing the cost of bakery products.

Effective today, Litro Gas has implemented a price hike for its domestic gas cylinders. 

The price of a 12.5 kg domestic gas cylinder has increased by 95 rupees, bringing the new price to 3,565 rupees. 

Similarly, the price of a 5 kg gas cylinder has been increased by 38 rupees, with the new price being 1,431 rupees. 

For a 2.3 kg liter gas cylinder, the price has risen by 18 rupees, resulting in a new price of 668 rupees.
