NH-10 night closure between Sevoke and Rangpo from October 7
Night-time vehicular movement on the Sevoke-Rangpo stretch of NH-10 will be restricted in two phases from October 7 to November 5, 2026, for excavation, slope protection and landslide mitigation works. The 52.1-km stretch will be closed from 9 PM to 6 AM daily during the notified periods.
The first phase runs from October 7 to October 15, and the second from October 26 to November 5. The restrictions apply to all vehicle categories under the Control of National Highways (Land and Traffic) Act, 2002. Authorities may introduce additional restrictions based on construction progress and safety requirements.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The night closure targets a landslide-prone corridor that is Sikkim's only road link to the rest of India. With two separate phases and a gap between them, the schedule tries to minimise disruption during the peak festival season around mid-October. The order leaves room for further restrictions based on construction progress, which means travellers should watch for additional notifications from the district administration before planning night journeys.
