On this historic occasion I congratulate people of Pakistan and especially people of NWFP. Ten years back MOL Pakistan had started a journey but no one could predict the ultimate success. But we had a belief in the quality of human resource, we had a belief in the dedication and commitment of our staff and we had a belief in our vision to succeed.
Today when natural gas flows through the new state of the art Central Processing Facility at Manzalai in Karak District of NWFP, we have a reason to be proud of this journey. The destination that we have reached means that soon we will be providing almost hundred percent of the current natural gas requirement of the NWFP.
Besides that we will be bridging supply gap to some of the major towns in the North of Pakistan. I am thankful to all my colleagues whether in MOL Pakistan or at MOL Plc Headquarter for their support. We also cannot forget those who may not be with the company now but had worked on one part of the project or the other.
We owe thanks to all of them. I also express my deep gratitude to the Government of Pakistan and Government of NWFP for their facilitation and encouragement. I am also greatly indebted to the communities that live in and around our work area for their co-operation. I also thank the JV partners for their continuous support help in reaching this important milestone. We look forward to further successes in TAL Block and beyond.
