Alternative Highway to Darjeeling Under Study to Ease Congestion

Alternative Highway to Darjeeling Under Study to Ease Congestion

Imagine the main road to Darjeeling is like a super busy street in a city, with too many cars.

This causes lots of traffic jams, especially when people are visiting or when it rains a lot.

Because of this, a government company called NHIDCL is looking into building a brand new road.

They are first hiring experts to study if it's a good idea and how to build it.

This new road would give drivers another option and help make the trip to Darjeeling smoother and more reliable, even when the weather is bad.

It's also being considered to help other important roads that connect to places like Sikkim.
