Detailed Solution

The transportation network discussed above is a Pipeline network.
The pipeline from the Assam oil fields to Kanpur is one of India's major networks of pipeline transport. It traverses the regions of Allahabad, Barauni, and Guwahati. The pipeline branches are through Guwahati to Siliguri, Rajbandh to Mourigram, and Barauni to Haldia. Pipelines have become the quickest and cheapest transportation for inflammable materials like petroleum, petroleum products, and natural gas. Earlier, it was used for the transport of water and slurry. The advantage of pipelines is that they can also be laid in rugged terrains. The Salaya-Jalandhar pipeline from Gujarat to Punjab and the HVJ pipeline are the two other important pipeline networks.
