The cabinet also gave its nod to the proposed supply of green fuel to greater Kolkata within five years, the minister said. GAIL along with the Greater Calcutta Gas Supply Corporation Ltd (GCGSCL), would work for the Calcutta Gas Supply Project to households in South 24 Parganas and North 24 Parganas, Howrah, Hooghly, Nadia and Kolkata, the minister said. “The chief minister wants gas to be supplied to every household at a reasonable rate. Within two years, we will try to set up the network of pipelines to supply green fuel and in another five years, its supply will start to areas under the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority,” Hakim said.
