A landslide on National Highway 202 near New Tsaru in Nagaland has damaged the road, prompting authorities to restrict heavy vehicles until clearance work is completed.
A landslide has struck National Highway 202 close to the settlement of New Tsaru in Nagaland, causing visible damage to the carriageway. The slide has left a section of the road obstructed and unsafe for large trucks and other heavy vehicles.
Local officials have ordered an immediate ban on heavy traffic along the affected stretch, allowing only light vehicles to pass under strict supervision. The restriction aims to prevent further deterioration of the road surface and to safeguard motorists from potential accidents.
The blockage has disrupted normal traffic flow, with drivers being diverted to alternative routes that add considerable distance to journeys between Dimapur and other parts of the state. Authorities have set up temporary signage to guide commuters and warn of the ongoing hazard.
Clearing teams are on site, working to remove debris and assess the stability of the slope. While the exact timeline for full restoration has not been announced, officials assure that the road will be reopened to all traffic as soon as safety can be guaranteed.
Motorists are advised to stay updated through local news bulletins and to comply with the imposed restrictions until the highway is declared safe for heavy vehicles again.
