Dear Sir,
The Daily Excelsior’s article on the Gurdaspur-Jammu Tawi Natural Gas Pipeline project outlines a significant initiative aimed at enhancing the energy infrastructure in northern India.
Set to provide natural gas to households in Jammu by 2026, this project reflects India’s dedication to energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic advancement.
The pipeline will have the capacity to transport two million cubic meters of natural gas each day, offering a cleaner, more efficient, and accessible alternative to traditional LPG cylinders. This effort supports India’s commitments under the Paris Agreement by helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions and improving public health.
The economic prospects associated with this initiative are substantial, as it will generate opportunities for gas-based industries, draw in investments, and stimulate industrial development.
We commend the Government for its proactive approach in ensuring the project’s timely progression. However, it is imperative to address environmental challenges, minimize disruptions, and maintain affordable pricing for natural gas. We encourage all stakeholders to work together to facilitate the prompt completion of the project. The Gurdaspur-Jammu Pipeline stands as a symbol of progress, paving the way for a cleaner and greener Jammu and Kashmir.
Sincerely,
Pushpa Pandita
