Gas supply in north Ingushetia restarted after pipe rupture
MALGOBEK, December 20 (RIA Novosti)
Gas supply in the north of Russia's North Caucasus Republic of
Ingushetia has restarted after an accident at the trunk pipeline, the
republic's emergencies ministry said on Sunday.
The accident occurred on Saturday evening when a gas pipeline running
from North Ossetia to Ingushetia broke down, leaving residents of the
Malgobek district without heating.
The emergencies ministry said gas supply restarted after a reserve
pipe was put into operation.
"The situation has been normalized by now, heating has been restored
and the damaged pipe is under repairs," the emergencies ministry said.
A week ago, gas supplies to Armenia and Russia's North Caucasus
republics of North Ossetia and Ingushetia were suspended after a bomb
was found on the pipeline running from Mozdok in North Ossetia to
Georgia.
The gas supplies resumed on Tuesday after bomb technicians deactivated
two explosive devices planted on the pipeline.
