QUETTA, Jan 10: Gas supply to the Sui purification plant was affected when two gas pipelines were blown up in Dera Bugti district on Monday.

Sources said that unidentified men planted explosive devices under the pipelines supplying gas to Sui and Loti plants and detonated them.

About five to eight feet long portions of the pipelines were damaged in the explosion that caused a fire. The technicians cut off the supply to the pipelines and brought the fire under control.
