Anantapur: A city gas pipeline laid by THINK Gas (formerly AG&P Pratham) restored the damage caused reportedly due to unscheduled JCB excavation work carried out by the Anantapur Municipal Corporation Water Pipeline Department while rectifying a water pipeline near Ram Nagar Comfort Apartment here.
The company said on Thursday that THINK Gas emergency response team acted promptly by isolating the affected section and restoring the gas supply within a short time, ensuring public safety and minimising inconvenience to residents.
THINK Gas has established a robust pipeline infrastructure in Anantapur district to supply Piped Natural Gas (PNG) for households and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for transport users. Despite the presence of visible route markers, cautionary signage, and emergency contact boards along the pipeline route, the contractor involved in the excavation failed to notify THINK Gas before starting work and did not submit any post-incident report.
