How ironic is that whole Pakistan uses the gas of balochistan and the baloch women still collect wood to use as fuel. Pakistani leadership and Baloch sardars are equally responsible for this.
What will be the fate of Iran Pakistan pipe line?
One of the hidden cost of having a pipeline --- security. Many places in the World will require pipelines to be buried - something you should consider.
