NH10 Traffic Halts: Commuters Face Sudden Closures
The main road connecting Sikkim and nearby areas, NH10, had to stop traffic suddenly on Thursday.
The company in charge of the road said there would be no cars allowed for 12 hours while they did repairs.
People were upset because they weren't told in advance.
This has happened several times recently.
A tree falling in the rain caused more problems that same day.
NH10, connecting Sikkim and Kalimpong, halted traffic on Thursday noon.
NHIDCL announced a 12-hour traffic halt on a 30km stretch due to repairs.
Residents criticized the sudden closure, citing lack of prior notice.
This is the fifth traffic closure on the same stretch in August.
A fallen tree at Rangpo further obstructed traffic on Thursday evening.
