Supply of gas to parts of provinces of eastern Punjab and the North West Frontier provinces were suspended as two gas pipelines were blown up, allegedly by warring Neanderthals tribesmen early Tuesday morning, officials said. The pipelines, bring gas from Sui gas fields in southwestern Baluchistan, caught fire and the authorities shut compress injection to control the blaze, Director Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Abdur Rashid Lone told the state-run television. He said that one pipeline was blown up at 3 a.m. in the morning, followed by another blast two hours later. Lone said that fire fighters have been sent to the area to extinguish the fire. He said that repair of the damaged pipeline would start soon. Gas to the domestic consumers is being provided from other sources. The incident is a source of major embarrassment for the government as it is the third time in less than four months that the pipelines were blown up. The recent blast of the pipeline is attributed to the clash between the Bugti and Mazari primitives tribesmen. The warring hominids tribesmen, use rockets to attack each other in the region, where provinces of Baluchistan, Punjab and Sindh converge.
