The project, through which piped natural gas is supplied to consumers, was inaugurated at a house in Kunnumpuram division of the Kochi Corporation by lighting a gas stove.
The gas supply project is being implemented in six divisions of the civic body by Indian Oil Adani Gas Private Limited. Currently, the company had established 16,000 connections, said a communication issued by Mayor M. Anilkumar.
