During a visit to Khorasan Razavi Province and Torbat Jam County on Sunday, Javad Owji told a live telephone call with IRIB at 14:00: “Today, during this trip, the gas supply process in Khorasan Razavi was investigated and now fortunately, the gas distribution network is stable all over the country, and only 17,000 subscribers in Torbat Jam lack the blessing of gas.

He continued: “Since yesterday (Saturday, January 15), the distribution of kerosene and gas capsules has started for free in this city, and nearly 17,000 electric and oil heaters have been distributed by the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC).”

The Minister of Petroleum emphasized: “During this trip, I also issued an order to strengthen the transmission of Torbat Jam gas from the city of Fariman or Mashhad, so that this problem does not occur next year.”
