| CM gives nod to 750-km gas pipeline | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, June 8 : Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah Wednesday gave nod to the prestigious project of 750 kilometers gas pipeline from Bathinda-Jammu to Srinagar to be completed within 36 months from the launch of project.
Chairing a high level meeting in this regard here, the Chief Minister highlighted the significance of this facility for the people of the State adding that the energy problem especially in winter months would be greatly resolved by this project.
The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary, Madhav Lal, Chairman, Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board, I. Mansingh, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, B. B. Vyas, Divisional Commissioners of Kashmir and Jammu, Asgar Samoon and Pawan Kotwal, Commissioner Secretaries of Revenue and CAPD, Ajaz Iqbal and Pradeep Gupta and other senior officers.
The Chief Minister said that by connecting Jammu and Kashmir to the National Gas Grid through this pipeline and ultimately linking individual households with the gas stations through a network of supply pipelines to get unabated gas supply throughout the year is the main objective of the project.
“It will relieve the State from energy crisis to a greater extent and help divert hydro power for other judicious use”, he said adding that industrialization would get necessary impetus by this project. He said the household dependence on power for heating and cooking purposes will also shift to the cheapest gas energy to be provided through this project to the consumers in the State.
Omar Abdullah said that natural gas would be available to domestic, commercial, transport, industries, agriculture and allied sectors through this project. “Its import through pipeline in winter months to the winter zone of the State will minimize the dependence of transportation of LPG cylinders in winter months when highways are usually blocked due to weather vagaries and heavy snowfalls”, he added.
