Speaking on the sidelines of the inauguration ceremony, Zanganeh said, "Gas projects valued at $1.7 billion have been undertaken with the help of domestic contractors," Shana reported.
The natural gas pipeline project, costing $40 million was completed in 14 months, connects 78 small towns and remote rural areas to the national grid.
