Naharlagun station road closed till 30 October, divert via Heritage Gate
The Lekhi-Borum to Naharlagun Railway Station road in Papum Pare district has been completely closed until 30 October for cement concrete laying and road-widening work. The closure, ordered by the Assistant Commissioner of Itanagar Capital Complex on 30 September, runs from the Railway Bridge at Lekhi-Borum to the tri-junction near Borum Railway Station. Kenge Construction, the contractor executing the work, has urged commuters to cooperate with traffic restrictions so the project is completed without further delay.
Vehicles from the Railway Station towards Lekhi or Nirjuli must use the route via Galo Heritage Gate, Galo Heritage Ground and the Railway Bridge. Traffic from Lekhi towards the station or Borum will be diverted through the Railway Bridge tri-junction, the Concrete Mixer Plant, Borum Community Hall and Stadium Road. The Assistant Commissioner has appealed to the public to follow the designated alternative routes for their safety and to allow uninterrupted construction.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The month-long road closure around Naharlagun Railway Station will force daily commuters between Lekhi, Borum and the station onto narrow village and colony roads that were never designed for through traffic. The alternative routes, through Heritage Gate, the Concrete Mixer Plant and Stadium Road, are unsurfaced in stretches and lack streetlights, raising safety concerns for night travel. Kenge Construction’s appeal for public cooperation signals contractor anxiety over delays: any breakdown in commuter discipline extends a closure that has already been stretched by a full month. The Assistant Commissioner has fixed no intermediate deadline or penalty for the contractor, so residents have no assurance the road will reopen on 30 October.
