GAS LEAK WITHOUT PROMOTION

Interruptions in the supply of gas by `Hayrusgazard’ company due to
vigorous construction works in different communities of Yerevan
recently have given way to anxiety among residents.

Those who make calls to Panorama.am editorial office are concerned
that they may not be able `to be watchful’ to comings and goings of
the gas and there may be gas leaks in the apartments since `it is
difficult to feel this gas -it has no smell.’

In fact, the Armenian Emergency Service make more frequent reports on
gas explosions. Gas leaks cause different accidents, including with
fatal end. The most recent accident took place yesterday in 20
building of Shiraz street when one person died due to gas leak and a
blast.

`Hayrusgazard’ told Panorama.am there were cuts off in Ajapniak
community, however, `the police is investigating to find out the
reasons of the explosion.’

Whatever answer the investigation gives, one this is clear: not enough
warnings or alarm exercises are delivered to the residents related to
gas leaks for any reason.
