personnel were quick at the scene and fire fighters were also called to snuff
out deafening flames of fire. However, it was learnt that the
technical staff of the gas company was facing problems in terms of immediate
repair of the destroyed portion owing to uncertain law and order situation in
the area.
There has been no immediate claim
of responsibility for the attack.
The incident has come days after
militants blew up two 220 KV transmission lines in Baluchistan's Notal area,
which had caused suspension of power supply to 29 districts of the province. Sabotage of gas pipelines is a
characteristic tactic of tribal militants which is frequently witnessed in
Baluchistan. However, the province also suffers from attacks carried out by
Taliban militants.
