The working group of  India, Iran and Pakistan will meet in Islamabad from May 22 to May 24 to further work out modalities for Indo-Iran gas pipeline project.

This information was given by petroleum and natural gas minister Murli Deora in a written reply in Lok Sabha.

The issue is being discussed by the three nations at bilateral and trilateral levels, he said adding the bilateral joint working group has met thrice and the trilateral once in this regard.

On the reported agreement between Iran and Pakistan for higher off-take of gas by Islamabad, the minister said Iran has denied any such agreement between the two.

Replying to another question, Deora said there was no shortage of bulk LPG in the country.

However, due to shortage of LPG cylinders in some states, a wait list of new LPG connections has emerged recently in these states, he said.

As per information from oil marketing companies, Deora said this wait list was expected to be liquidated in a month's time.
