CM Urges Centre for Extension of Gas Pipeline network to benefit MP
Bhopal: The Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan has urged the Centre to extend Bina pipeline to Sagar, Jabalpur, Rewa, Singrauli and Guna gas pipeline to Gwalior and Malanpur in view of vastness of Madhya Pradesh. In a letter to Union Minister for Chemical and Fertilizers Shri Anant Kumar, the chief minister said that extension of gas pipelines network would cover larger portion of the state. It would contribute to industrial development of the state, he added.
Shri Chouhan held discussions with Shri Ananth Kumar regarding extension of Gas pipeline network in the state today. He wrote in his letter that 1746 km. Mallavaram – Bhopal – Bhilwara-Vijaypur pipeline project has been approved. Of this 873 km. gas pipeline would pass through Madhya Pradesh covering 14 districts in central and western parts of the state. Giving logic for extension of gas pipe line, Shri Chouhan said that Madhya Pradesh is a vast state and entire eastern region and northern portion remain untouched by the pipeline. He expressed happiness over Government of India’s decision to spend Rs. 10 thousand crore on expansion of gas pipeline network in the country.
