A landslide on June 26 at Likhubhir has forced the closure of National Highway 10, the primary route linking Gangtok and Siliguri. This incident occurred due to continuous heavy rainfall since early morning, resulting in significant debris blocking the road and raising severe safety concerns for travelers.
NH-10, notorious for its susceptibility to disruptions during the monsoon season, is currently impassable. The closure of this critical artery poses major challenges for commuters and the transportation of goods between Gangtok and Siliguri.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have initiated efforts to clear the debris and reopen the highway. Despite the persistent bad weather in Sikkim, local teams are dedicated to ensuring the safety and prompt restoration of this essential route.
