Suspected militants blew up a major gas pipeline near Sindh-Punjab border, disrupting gas supply to many areas, an official said on Tuesday. The explosion caused major damage to the pipeline near Rahim Yar Khan (RYK) district that supplies gas to Punjab from Sindh.
The pipeline, which was exploded using a time device, is an act of terrorism, Sohail Gulzar, a senior official at the Sui Northern Gas Company Limited (SNGPL), told reporters.
The explosion — latest in a series of similar incidents in recent past — took place on late Monday night, he added.
