Gail (India) Pvt Ltd has issued a public notice warning people against encroaching on its Right of User (RoU) of Dabol-Bengaluru natural gas pipeline
Stating that it has laid high pressure natural gas pipelines from Dabol to Bengaluru, which is being operated for supplying/transporting natural gas to consumers enroute, the notice says that the pipelines pass through Curchirem in North Goa and Marcaim to Zuari in South Goa.
Gail has acquired RoU in the land for laying the pipelines under Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines (P&MP) Act, 1962, the notice further states.
“Since these pipelines are carrying highly inflammable and hazardous natural gas, construction of any building or any other structure, construction and excavation of any tank, well, reservoir, dam, or plantation of trees is strictly prohibited on that land as per P&MP Act, 1962,” the notice reads.
