GAS SUPPLY: Residents of Odigram have demanded of Sui Northern Gas Pipelines' to ensure a continuous and steady supply of Sui gas to the locality, and remove the prevailing anxiety among the people.
In a joint statement here on Sunday, the residents said that the chairman of Sui Northern Gas Pipelines had promised that Odigram would be included in the first phase when Sui gas would be supplied to Swat, as Odigram was located on the main Malakand- Mingora road.
They said that so far the authorities had failed to honour the promise, which has created a lot of concern among the people about the supply of Sui gas to the locality.
