Agra Metro Digging Breaks Gas Pipeline, Supply Halted

amarujala.com (undefined) —

A gas pipeline rupture during metro construction in Agra has halted supply. The 8-inch steel pipeline, operated by GAIL, was damaged Thursday night, potentially disrupting gas for industrial, domestic, and commercial consumers on Friday. The pipeline, supplying PNG from Tedhi Bagiya to Sikandra, broke around 9 PM during excavation for the second metro corridor. Green Gas officials report over 70,000 consumers depend on this line, which handles a daily consumption of 2 lakh SCM. Repair teams arrived overnight, but work will only begin after gas is fully vented for safety. Officials say a minor fault could be fixed by night, while a major one may delay supply until Friday morning. Police have secured the site.
