Tourism and transport groups in Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and Siliguri have made new safety rules for the festive holiday season. Local authorities have set up special tourist help desks at main travel points to help visitors.
Extra traffic police and emergency medical teams are now deployed along National Highway 10 and hill routes to manage traffic flow. These steps come after heavy rainfall and landslides caused major travel problems and road closures between Sevoke and Rangpo earlier this year.
Key travel groups are working with state officials to ensure proper safety standards and disaster-ready infrastructure. Visitors can use helpline numbers provided by the West Bengal Tourism Department and contact the Darjeeling Police for emergency help.
