In line with his committed efforts to change the face of the urbanized villages in Delhi through various initiatives, Delhi Lt Governor(LG) Vinai Kumar Saxena on Thursday launched the first ever domestic PNG facility in rural Delhi at Qutabgarh in North-West Delhi.
These moves will provide unprecedented impetus to the development of hitherto neglected villages in Delhi. This also marks the first venture of IGL in Delhi’s rural areas, which was till date confined to the selected urban residential colonies only. This paves the way for extension of PNG pipelines and services to other urbanized villages in the city as well, officials said.
Speaking on the occasion, the LG announced that four more villages – Jaunti, Nizampur, Rawta and Daurala – will be provided with PNG connection within one month that will be a New Year gift to thousands of families living in these villages.
