Mr. Ha made the decision at a meeting he chaired with relevant departments on action against the 11 petrol stations which had been found selling low quality gasoline to consumers.
Accordingly, the petrol stations will pay a maximum fine of VND30 million (US$1,430) and lose their business licenses for a period of 12 months.
Decisions to this effect will be sent to the businesses by January 1 next year, Ha said.
Authorized organizations will continue to examine 518 other petrol stations in the city.
