A Heritage pipeline was detached in what both the company and Energy Minister say was an act of sabotage.
A length of about 6 feet was cut leading to a significant amount of oil gushing roadside and into drains along G.P. Road Barrackpore.
Line Minister Dr Roodal Mooonilal condemned the actions of those responsible saying, it could be the work of organised crime with a mastermind targeting key state enterprises.
