The Cachar district administration said Oil and Natural Gas Corporation will provide piped gas to homes in the district soon. “ONGC authorities recently said projects are being taken up for supply of LPG gas through pipelines throughout Cachar district in the near future,” said an official communiqué.
At present, the facility is available in Sonai town in the southern Assam district. Cooking gas is being supplied through pipelines in this town from ONGC’s plant at Dhanehari Part II near Sonabarighat. “Sonai people are lucky enough to get piped cooking gas. In the first phase, 100 families of Sonai town were provided piped LPG from that plant and new connections are also being given,” Cachar deputy commissioner Kriti Jalli said while addressing the oath-taking ceremony of Sonai municipal board on Saturday.
