Chandigarh, July 3 (IANS) The Haryana government is working on a plan to provide CNG and PNG through pipelines for domestic, commercial and industrial consumers.
At a review meeting with officers and representatives of gas agencies to discuss the development of a structural framework, Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal on Monday said gas agencies should establish area wise targets and develop a structural framework within a specified timeframe.
He said the Industries Department will soon launch a portal to address NOC-related issues and provide necessary support to gas agencies. He directed the officers to conduct monthly meetings with gas agencies at the district level to review progress, and seminars should be conducted to create awareness among the public.
Kaushal said the portal would be linked with various departments like panchayati raj institutions and urban local bodies. This integration will enable gas agencies to access NOC-related facilities online.
The chief secretary said the gas agencies should establish clusters and complete pipeline installation work promptly to facilitate the construction of CNG stations. He stressed the importance of prioritizing gas services for citizens in the NCR region and urged the agencies to accelerate their work by setting targets throughout the state.
Kaushal said 362 CNG stations have already become operational in different districts of the state, and industrial connections have also been issued in several cities. Efforts are underway to lay gas pipelines in domestic and industrial areas of Ambala, Bhiwani, Charkhi Dadri, Fatehabad, Mahendragarh, Nuh, Kurukshetra, Panchkula, Panipat, Palwal, Sonipat and Sirsa.
