ISLAMABAD, Jan 6: Gas supplies from a pipeline blown up by tribal militants in Balochistan were expected to resume to US and British-owned power plants by Friday, said a press release issued by Oil and Gas Development Company Limited. Two blasts early on Wednesday damaged a 24-inch (60cm) diameter pipeline in the Dera Murad Jamali area about 220km southeast of Quetta, cutting off gas supply to the 586-MW Uch Power plant.

The main shareholders of the Uch plant were Britain’s International Power and US firms Tenaska Inc and GE Capital. They sold electricity to Wapda.
