19,000 Households to Join National Gas Grid

Projects to connect 10 towns and 1,900 villages across the country to the national gas have been completed and new subscribers will join the grid this week, the National Iranian Gas Company's director for gas distribution said.
"The scheme, with a total value of 22 trillion rials [$220 million], will supply fuel to over 19,000 households in underprivileged areas with natural gas," Saeed Momeni was also quoted as saying by Shana.
All the new cities, including Nehbandan, Sarv and Shusef in the southern tip of South Khorasan Province, as well as Khur, Anarak, Jandaq and Farrokhi in the desert parts of Isfahan Province, are located in underprivileged areas.
