KABUL (Pajhwok): Industrialists on Thursday called the commencement of the TAPI gas pipeline project “a big achievement” and asked the government to extend the gas to residential homes and industrial parks.
Leaders from Afghanistan converged in the remote Karakum desert about 300km northeast of the Turkmenistan capital Ashgabat and launched the 1,814km Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline, named after the countries it is designed to cross.
A 750km portion of the pipeline will pass through Afghanistan . . .
