A serious incident of insurgency occurred at 01:35am on April 10, between Tuesdays and Wednesday night, in Jafarabad District, Balochistan, when SSGC's 16-inch diameter Indus Left Bank Pipeline (ILBP) was blown up by some unknown miscreants.
The pipeline was carrying gas for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd, which is the sixth sabotage activity that took place since March 16 this year. SSGC's system has not been affected due to this sabotage activity at all. Following this incident, the effected section of the pipeline was immediately isolated. Company's emergency response teams are ready to rush to the site from Shikarpur to inspect the situation.
However, they are awaiting permission from the security agencies that are engaged in clearance of the said area. After the security clearance, another team will also be mobilised from Karachi, carrying heavy repair equipments and necessary material.-PR
