No country across the world has such an unfair attitude to the population.”
DPT, SDPT and SPT stressing that according to the Constitution,

We will recall that since the beginning of the year, the public has paid for natural gas at the rate of 250.00 Somonis per 1,000 cubic meters, and beginning from today, payment by the minute for the fixed-line communication amounts to 0.02 Somoni against the previous 0.01 Somoni.
