Peshawar: Work on the gas supply line from Darra Adamkhel to Peshawar is set to be completed ahead of schedule, a news source reported. The 32km line will help resolve low gas pressure issues in almost one-half of the city.
The 16-inch diameter pipeline directly links gas fields in the southern district of KP with Peshawar. It is expected to be completed by next week. The PKR 560 million project was originally scheduled for operation by June 2019.
The pipeline will help resolve gas pressure problems in areas like University Town, Hayatabad, and Regi Model Town. It can even be extended to provide gas to consumers living in the tribal districts of Khyber.
A similar, 16-inch diameter pipeline running 8.1 kilometres will provide gas to Hayatabad industrial estate. The PKR 160 million project is expected to improve the operation of the existing gas system.
