Trial has begun at 55 houses at an apartment in Anna Nagar in Chennai for the supply of piped natural gas (PNG). These are the first batch of domestic natural gas connections provided in the city. It has been over a month now since the trial run began with the company laying the pipelines at the 16-floor apartment.
Pradeep Sampath, a resident on the ninth floor of the complex, said that they were comfortable with the connection. “They refused to conceal the pipelines saying that it is a Government of India norm. With natural gas, we don’t have the issue of soot formation on the utensils,” he said.
