The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has explained that there was no law that prevents the siting of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) refill stations near residential areas.
According to the EPA, existing laws rather bars the construction of LPG and fuel stations close to schools, hospitals, and churches.
At a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, to respond to last Saturday's gas explosion at Atomic junction in Accra, the EPA said its focus was on safety and that it believes if stations were to abide by safety standards, accidents would be reduced.
More to come….

EPA come to ogbojo and see for yourself. Stop throwing dust into peoples eyes. We have two gas stations close to a school and three churches.
an inadequate law being explained by an i-d-i-o-t-i-c technocrat. this man lacks common sense; he thinks like a robot
It is quiet unfortunate for anyone in EPA to give that lose talk. What are they for, even if there are no regulations controlling the sighting of Gas and petroleum stations, does that mean that if there is a place behind his wall or his mothers property he will allow the building of such a facility there? Come on he must speak as a responsible person.
