Kadapa City Gas Pipelines Damaged, Prompt Repair by THINK Gas
In Kadapa, some gas pipelines were accidentally damaged this month during construction.
THINK Gas, the company that provides the gas, quickly fixed the problems both times to keep everyone safe and gas flowing.
The first incident happened near Nagarjuna School, and the second near Gangamma Temple.
The company is asking construction workers to be more careful and call before they dig, as damaging gas pipelines is a crime.
If someone is found guilty, they could face up to three years in jail and large fines.
City gas pipelines in Kadapa were damaged twice in August due to unauthorized excavation.
THINK Gas quickly restored gas supply after both incidents.
The first incident involved a 20 mm pipeline near Nagarjuna School.
The second incident involved a 32 mm pipeline near Gangamma Temple.
THINK Gas has filed a police complaint and urged contractors to follow safety protocols.
