While most of the countries in the world are facing fuel crisis amidst war in the Middle- East, there is good news for the people of Jammu, as they will get cooking gas (LPG) in their kitchens directly through pipes within this year.
“Over 90% of the work on Gurdaspur-Jammu gas pipeline has been completed and we are expecting to connect the gas trunk pipeline with the source by September this year. 

Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) is looking after this project and now, hardly 10 % of the work is left on this gas pipeline,” Ashutosh Gupta, Executive Director and UT Head of the Indian Oil Corporation of India Limited (IOCL) for J&K, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh said. While referring to the progress on this Bathinda-Gurdaspur Jammu Gasline Project, Gupta said, ” The project is progressing well. We are satisfied with the pace of work.
GAIL company has been assigned the task by the Government. We hope by the end of next year, when we will meet again for another press briefing, you people (Jammuites) will have cooking gas connections through pipes/taps in your kitchens,” the IOCL Executive Director disclosed.Gupta said not only, cooking gas, the sufficient supply of CNG will also be available in Jammu area for the vehicles. It will have great relief for the CNG vehicle users as its running cost is low as compared to petrol and diesel, he added.
