According to NIGC, Hassan Montazer Torbati said on Thursday that only the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan remained to be fully covered by the network.

Speaking in a meeting of the board of directors of Azarbaijan Sharghi Gas Company, Mr. Torbati said people’s satisfaction was the best criteria for assessing NIGC’s services, therefore, “we endeavor to offer better services day by day.”

Today, gas distribution is in a suitable state and distribution of gas has been accelerated thanks to the supportive law in the budget bill of 2014, he said.

The official noted that Iran is one of the few countries in the world where 95 percent of its population have access to the gas network which is an indication of unparalleled social justice in the country.
