Quick Read
After a spate of recent gas leaks following damage to several gas pipelines during roadwork, Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) has now begun painting MGL symbols on roads under which the gas line passes through.
The initial implementation was observed in the western suburbs of Dahisar and Borivli. Under the new system, bright, durable yellow colour paint is being used to mark the road surface at regular intervals with the MGL logo, indicating that a gas pipeline runs beneath that stretch. These markings act as a visual alert for anyone intending to drill, dig or excavate, prompting them to exercise caution and coordinate with MGL before commencing work.
