The residents of the Mokhaberat and Dadgostari townships in the provincial city of Ardebil are still waiting for natural gas to be pipelined to their houses. In early 2008 the officials promised delivery of gas to the houses. But the cold winter has arrived without the promises being fulfilled. So the residents have to turn to traditional means to heat their homes and do their cooking.
