NH-10 Blocked Again After Landslide Near 20 Mile

National Highway 10, the main road connecting Siliguri and Sikkim, is facing major disruptions due to heavy rainfall. A fresh landslide occurred at 20 Mile following intense rain that started on Tuesday night and continued throughout Wednesday. This landslide has completely blocked the highway, stopping all traffic movement between the two regions.

Road Clearing Operations Underway

Local authorities and road maintenance agencies have deployed machinery and workers to the site of the landslide. The teams are currently working to clear the debris from the road to restore traffic as soon as possible. Constant rain in the hilly areas is making the cleanup process difficult for the crews on the ground.

Travel Risks in North Bengal

Frequent landslides caused by the monsoon season have made travel on this route highly unpredictable. The repeated closure of this vital NH-10 link has caused significant trouble for commuters and transport vehicles. Travelers are advised to exercise extreme caution and check the road status before planning any journey through the hills during this rainy season.
