QUETTA, Feb 14: A gas pipeline was blown up in Sui on Wednesday, disrupting supply to the main purification plant. According to Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) sources, an explosive device was denoted under the pipeline supply gas to the plant from well No.21 of the Sui field.

“About 2.5ft-long portion of the pipeline was blown up in the blast that rocked the Sui township,” police sources said, adding that supply to the damaged pipeline had been stopped.

The PPL sources said the pipeline would be repaired soon.

Meanwhile, gas supply to Quetta from the main pipeline, which had been affected by a blast on Sunday, has been restored. The Sui Southern Gas Company had managed supply to the main city and cantonment area through the pipeline supplying gas to Ziarat and Pishin, the sources said.
