Agency to Assess NH10 Highway's Condition, Seek Improvements

The government has hired a team to check the NH10 highway, which links Sikkim and Kalimpong, to make it better.

This highway is often closed due to landslides, which is hurting tourism and the local economy.

The closures started after a big flood in 2023.

The new team will figure out how to fix the highway.

Sikkim's leaders are worried about the money lost when the road is closed.

Officials are also planning to build new structures to avoid the areas where landslides happen.

Tourism businesses want to get updates on the highway's status to help plan trips for tourists.

This will also benefit the people of Sikkim.
