The Nagaland government has imposed traffic restrictions at the Phesama sinking zone on National Highway 2 to ensure safety amid road deterioration.
The state authorities have announced a temporary traffic restriction at the Phesama sinking zone on National Highway 2. The move comes after reports of significant road subsidence that could pose a danger to motorists.
Lanes on the affected stretch have been closed to all vehicular traffic, with detour routes set up to divert commuters around the hazardous section.
Officials have urged drivers to follow the posted signs and use the alternate routes until the road is deemed safe.
The restriction is expected to remain in place until the completion of the necessary repairs, which are being carried out by the Public Works Department.
Local residents and transport operators have expressed concerns about the impact on daily commutes, but the government has assured them that safety remains the top priority.
