discounted gas tank program


Explanation:
It seems to me that this refers to a program in Venezuela to provide needy families and individuals with discounted 10-kilo gas tanks.

VENEZUELA
Ternium Sidor alcanza la meta de 100 mil bombonas populares.

Dentro del programa “La Bombona Popular” participaron 93 pequeñas y medianas empresas distribuidoras de gas, para llegar a los sectores más necesitados, muchos de los cuales no contaban con este servicio a precios solidarios.
