Srinagar/Jammu, Dec 11: National Conference today welcomed government’s approval to the 328 km long Bhatinda-Jammu-Srinagar gas pipeline project, terming it as ‘historic’.
“The project will provide uninterrupted gas supply to the state and bring huge relief to the people in Kashmir valley,” said National Conference spokesman Tanvir Sadiq.
