Authorities have ordered a night-time shutdown of a stretch of National Highway 10 near Sikkim, affecting vehicular movement after sunset.
The transport department has issued a directive to close a segment of National Highway 10 that runs close to the Sikkim border during night hours. The restriction will apply from sunset until sunrise, limiting all non‑essential traffic on the affected stretch.
Officials say the measure is being taken to facilitate routine maintenance and ensure safety on the high‑altitude route. Motorists are urged to plan their journeys accordingly and avoid the highway after dark.
Travelers seeking to reach destinations beyond the closed section are advised to use alternate corridors or postpone trips until daylight. Updates will be provided through official channels as the situation evolves.
