more-inAn alert resident prevented civic agencies from cutting a road in HSR Layout in the middle of the night, under which a GAIL pipeline runs. After GAIL engineers stepped in, the work was stopped, averting a major accident. Last April, a fire broke out in Garvebhavipalya near HSR Layout due to leakage from a GAIL pipeline. When Mr. Rastogi informed GAIL officials of this, they quickly reached the spot around 1 a.m. and got the work stopped. It is the contractor's mistake to start road cutting without checking this,” said BBMP AEE Murlidhar.
