SECURITY COVER TO OIL AND GAS PIPELINES
LOK SABHA
The threat perception and vulnerability of various
oil installations including Hazira-Bijaipur-Jagdishpur pipeline's
under water link with the oil and gas fields of the Mumbai coast,
has intensified due to recent terrorist activities in different
parts of the country. Security of oil installations are reviewed
from time to time internally by the concerned oil PSUs as well
as by the Government. Recently a high level security Committee
has been constituted under the Chairmanship of Secretary (P&NG)
with representatives from Oil PSUs, Security Agencies, some of
the State Police Departments, as members of this Committee. The
Committee reviews and recommends security of oil installations
and measures to strengthen the security. Adequate security has
been provided for oil installations and there is no let up in
this regard. The above information was given by Shri Santosh Kumar
Gangwar, Minister of State for Petroleum & Natural Gas in the
Lok Sabha in reply to a question.
