After a month of road closures caused by a landslide, the National Highway 10 segment in Sikkim has been reopened, easing travel for locals and tourists.
The 10‑kilometre stretch of National Highway 10 that cuts through the eastern part of Sikkim has been officially reopened after a month‑long closure caused by a landslide.
The landslide, which had blocked the route, was cleared by road maintenance teams who removed debris and repaired the damaged section. The clearing work was completed in time for the highway to resume normal traffic.
The reopening restores a vital link for residents and tourists travelling between the district headquarters and the popular hill stations. Local authorities have urged drivers to exercise caution as the road surface remains wet and potentially slippery.
Travelers can now resume their journeys along NH 10 without the detour that had been required during the closure.
