Indian Oil Corporation has repaired and restored the Mathura-Delhi section of its Mathura-Jalandhar pipeline, where an instance of illegal tapping was detected on February 17, 2017.
According to a press release, "The pilferage was detected early morning, and put it back into service the same night to ensure uninterrupted transport of petroleum products."
The Mathura-Jalandhar pipeline, spanning about 535 km, transports finished products from its Mathura refinery to various consumption centres of Delhi, UP, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Punjab. With a throughput capacity of 3.7 million tonnes per annum, the pipeline traverses via Delhi-Panipat-Ambala and terminates at Jalandhar.
An IOCL statement said that the corporation’s security guards patrolling the RK Puram area of Mathura district found illegal tapping of the pipeline being carried out through a 15-foot deep tunnel. An FIR has been logged with the police.
