Ilam Rural Gas Supply to Reach 99%

Gas supply project to 99 villages in Ilam Province is underway, the head of Ilam Province Gas Company said.
“Out of a total of 624 villages in the western province, 517 villages have been provided with natural gas so far and with the completion of the current project, 99% of Ilam’s rural regions will get access to piped gas,” Mahmoud Keshavarz was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana.
The gas company plays an important role in the sustainable development of villages and providing services to disadvantaged rural areas will reduce the migration of villagers to cities, leading to the economic prosperity of rural areas, he added.
