Intense rainfall has led authorities to limit vehicle movement on National Highway 10 in Sikkim for safety reasons.
Sikkim’s transport officials have imposed a restriction on vehicle movement along National Highway 10 as heavy rain continues to batter the region. The decision, announced by the state’s Public Works Department, aims to prevent accidents caused by water‑logged sections and the heightened risk of landslides along the mountainous route.
Motorists are advised to avoid the affected stretch until conditions improve and to seek alternative pathways where possible. Police patrols have been deployed to enforce the restriction and to assist stranded travelers.
The restriction is expected to remain in force as long as the rainfall persists, with officials monitoring the situation closely and updating the public through local bulletins.
