Afghanistan said on Thursday that work would begin on a $10 billion TAPI gas pipeline traversing South Asia as officials joined dignitaries in neighbouring Turkmenistan to celebrate its completion on that side of the border. Progress on the TAPI pipeline, running through Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, has been repeatedly delayed because of security issues in conflict-ridden Afghanistan. “From today the operations will start on Afghanistan’s soil,” Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said at the ceremony in comments broadcast by Afghan state television.
