NH-415 Closure in Arunachal Causes Traffic Gridlock
Imagine a major road in Arunachal Pradesh, NH-415, is being fixed.
They closed part of it to make it bigger and better, like adding extra lanes!
This caused big traffic jams, especially around Naharlagun.
People got really upset because the roadwork started right when it's about to rain, which makes everything harder.
The local government is being told by the court to improve the road and do a better job.
The construction is part of a project to make the road wider.
NH-415 in Arunachal Pradesh closed for construction, causing severe traffic congestion.
Commuters in Naharlagun and nearby areas experienced long traffic snarls.
Citizens expressed frustration and criticized the timing of the roadwork.

The case involves the four-laning of NH-415 between km 40+430 to km 51+735.
