Sikkim Landslides | Why Sikkim's Lifeline NH10 Is Choked For A Month

A very crucial stretch of Highway 10 connecting land-locked Sikkim with West Bengal is slowly reopening after remaining closed for more than a month, but the movement of traffic continues to be regulated as restoration work is underway. The stretch was closed on July 7 following a major landslide measuring nearly 250 metres, disrupting one of the key road links between Sikkim and West Bengal.
Heavy vehicles have particularly faced difficulties, as the narrow alternative route cannot accommodate regular traffic. The road is now being opened in intervals, with construction work continuing for several hours before vehicles are allowed to pass. Authorities are adopting the approach to balance traffic movement with ongoing restoration work.
