QUETTA: Unidentified miscreants blew up a portion of a gas pipeline in Pirkoh area of Balochistan’s Dera Bugti district late on Sunday that led to the suspension of supply of gas from wells no 5 and 21 to Pirkoh gas purification plant, the security sources said.
The sources said that a portion of the 16 inch-diameter pipeline in Pirkoh gas field was blown up as an explosive device planted under the pipeline by unknown miscreants went off. They said that the repair work of the pipeline would begin once a security clearance was granted.
