owing to repairs on the North-South gas pipeline, were restarted on
Sunday morning, Tamara Shoshiashvili, PR head for the Georgian Oil
and Gas Corporation (GOGC), told Interfax.
She said that over the three days of stoppage, a four-kilometer tap
was implemented at the corrosive section of the pipeline near Gladnula
in the Gardabani region.
quot;Work on this section was implemented in the second phase of the
rehabilitation of the North-South gas pipeline,quot; she said.
