New Delhi, Dec 3 (IANS): Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday inaugurated a Rs.4,500 crore ($722 million) 1,000 km-long gas pipeline that connects Dabhol in Maharashtra to Bangalore in Karnataka.

The project has been developed by the state-run Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL).

The prime minister dedicated the project to the nation at the inaugural ceremony of the 8th Asia Gas Partnership Summit organised jointly by GAIL and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) here.

The project has a design capacity of 16 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCMD) of natural gas that can produce 3,000 mega watt of clean energy.

The pipeline passes through Belgaum, Dharwad, Gadag, Bellary, Devanagere, Chitradurga, Tumkur, Ramanagaram, Bangalore Rural and Bangalore Urban districts.

It traverses through 18 National Highways, 382 other road crossings, 20 railway crossings, 83 cased crossings, 11 major river crossings and 276 water body crossings including Asia’s largest river crossing in rocky terrain at Ghatprabha, according to a statement released by the oil ministry here.

The project was completed in 19 months.

    This project will be completed without hurdles till it reaches Karnataka Border between Kolhapur & Belgaum Districts.
    Once the project enters Karnataka border then our so called Environmentalists will start creating trouble and bring Stay-orders or create legal hurdles which will delay the project for another 20-30 years in Karnataka Portion.

    I am involved in designing of cross country pipelines.
    It is really an achievement to lay 1000KM pipeline in 19 months,that too in such difficult terrain with so many issues like land acquisition, river crossing, passing through western ghat etc.
    The pipeline is going feed power plants which in turn will hopefully trigger many other mega projects.

    The bjp and its leaders are blind to see the developments of congress government since 60 years. They drink milk by closing the eyes.

    IN GUJARAT THEY DRINK MALNUTRITION MILK BLINDLY CLOSING THEIR EYES JUST SHOWING FAKE DEVELOPMENTS.

    FEATHERS OVER FEATHERS ON THE CAP OF DR. MANMOHAN SINGHJI.
    THIS IS THE GREAT DEVELOPMENT TO OUR STATE AND ONE OVER ANOTHER VICTORY OF INDIAN CITIZENS.
