September 4, 2007: (Live Mint.com) Silchar: Gas would flow to India from Myanmar for supply in Cachar district of Assam which would benefit gas-based industries here, Union Minister of state for Heavy Industries Santosh Mohan Dev said.

Primary talks between the two countries for the supply of gas had already been held, Deb told PTI on 4 September.
