Sikkim authorities will shut the state’s lifeline NH-10 nightly until December 13 to carry out landslide mitigation work.
NH-10, the state’s lifeline that links Gangtok to the rest of India, will be shut every night until December 13.
The nightly closures are part of a landslide‑mitigation programme following recent slope failures in the region.
Commuters will need to use alternate routes during the night, and the transport department has advised checking official updates for any changes.
Work on stabilising the vulnerable slopes is expected to be completed by the 13th, after which the road will reopen.
Authorities will continue to monitor the situation and provide further guidance as needed.
