BEIJING- The country's top legislature adopted its first law protecting oil and natural gas pipelines to spell out the responsibilities of companies and governments in the sector.

The 61-article law, set to take effect on Oct 1 this year, requires companies to take safety measures during the construction of pipelines, ensure the quality of construction materials, patrol pipelines regularly and place warning signs near them.

Similarly, relevant government departments should also coordinate major issues regarding pipeline protection and supervise companies to fulfill their responsibilities in protecting pipelines according to the law.
