Unidentified miscreants blew up a gas pipeline in Dera Bugti area of Balochistan on Saturday.
Some miscreants exploded an eight-inch diameter gas pipeline in Zain Koh area of Balochistan’s district Dera Bugti, which suspended gas supply to several areas in the region.
Sui gas-field in Dera Bugti is the biggest natural gas field in Pakistan. The gas field was discovered in the late 1952 and the commercial exploitation of the field began in 1955.
Repeated attacks on supply-lines of natural gas from Sui gas-field to rest of the country have become an order of the day.
Recent bomb blasts at three major gas pipelines in Rahimyar Khan in southern Punjab disrupted gas supply to industries and domestic consumers in several parts of Punjab and the northern areas.
