AA : Pipe Line via Pakistan :
The disruption of the flow of Natural Gas through a Pipe Line via Pakistan for a Period of Four Weeks would lead to a loss of Five Per Cent of Indiaâs GDP as per the following Article :

In case you cannot access the Hindustan Times Archives for the Article please let me know and I will either Post the Article here or E-Mail to you.
BB : Pipe Line from Burma
1. The shortest and safest route for the Sitwe (Akyab) to Kolkata Natural Gas Pipe Line is via the Shallow Water Sea Route â Maximum Depths around 200 Metres â from Sitwe (Akyab) to the Eastern Channel L.V Lat. 21°04'19" N Long. 088°11'07" E and thence North to Kolkata.
This Route is outside the Bangladesh Territorial Limits of 12 Miles but most definitely passes through the Bangladesh Exclusive Economic Zone through which Marine Pipe Lines â like normal Ships â have a Right of Innocent Passage without the need to pay any dues.
2. The Pipe Line from Bongaigaon in Assam to Kanpur in UP via Baruni in Bihar is for the Carriage of Oil and is of a Size (Oil is much more dense than Natural Gas) which would be too small to carry any amount of Natural Gas to justify economically.
In additions the Natural Gas Pipe Lines have to be of a Greater Wall Thickness as even a Land Pipe Line would be transporting Natural Gas at around 150 Atmospheres.
Thus a Land Pipe Line from Sitwe (Akyab) to Kolkata via Bongaigaon would have to be a newly built Pipe Line dedicated for the transportation of Natural Gas.
B T W : Despite the Dangerous Situation in Bangladesh our "Special Peace Loving Leaders" will most probably drop their everything and construct the Pipe Line via Bangladesh as as there are bent upon building a Pipe Line via Pakistan.
