Sikkim Enforces Nighttime Closure on NH-10 for Emergency Repairs

Sikkim authorities have imposed a nighttime traffic restriction on the NH-10 highway, a key route linking the state to the rest of India. The closure, effective from 8 pm to 5 am, is intended to facilitate urgent repair work on the road's deteriorating sections. Transport officials have urged commuters to plan alternative routes or adjust travel times to avoid inconvenience. The decision follows a recent assessment that identified critical safety hazards along the stretch. The state’s transport department will monitor the progress and lift the restriction once the works are completed.
